Dirk Bogarde inherits his grandfather's land, and his trouble with locals, in a remote Canadian valley. A rich baron wants to build a dam to power his mines, but doing so will flood Dirk's property. In order to stop them, he needs to prove that there is oil. He ends up in a battle of wills with Stanley Baker, the foreman of the dam building project, who goes as far as murder to make sure Dirk does not succeed. Formulaic action yarn with a disaster-style ending, with the Dolomites in Italy standing in for the Rockies.
