the haydens and colbys be two mountain family who have have such a long term feud and everyone forget what it start over . never mind when pop colby ( noah beery and sr. ) shoot grandpa down in cold blood and dad hayden take an unorthodox and cowardly approach in some eye and he call in the law . the haydens move west and colby when he get out of the joint take the family and move to where the haydens be to take up where they leave off . along the way he have an ally and jack larue and who have an agenda all his own . of course in romeo and juliet fashion and the hayden son ( randolph scott ) and the colby daughter ( esther ralston } meet and flip for each other . if anything that throw gasoline on the feud fire . this be one of the weak of randolph scott earlier western . i be not sure if i be see the complete film a a budget video company put out a re release that look like it be choppily edit . there be a lot of plot gap and thing that do not make sense . this be also one of the early film of shirley temple who big scene be when one of the colbys shoot the head off of her doll . it wasn not for sadistic purpose but to get the haydens to chase them . still it an early weepy for shirley . she later do two more film withrandolph scott and rebecca of sunnybrook farm and susannah of the mountie and with her name above his at that point . also at the very end and the fadeout be esther and randy in what look like a photograph of later domestic bliss . and the soundtrack be blare the bing crosby hit please . kind of out of place and but since paramount have the right to it and they figure they have to use it .
