This dramatic film was inspired by the true story of a last-ditch attempt to save the Southern Confederacy from ruin near the end of the War Between the States. A group of Southern sympathizers has donated $5 million in gold bullion to the Confederate States Government - the only problem is how to smuggle the gold out of Yankee-infested Virginia City, Nevada, across nearly two thousand miles of rugged terrain to the Gulf of Mexico, and then through the Union blockade to the Confederate capital at Richmond. Starring Randolph Scott as the dashing Confederate Colonel entrusted with the dangerous mission and Errol Flynn as the Yankee spy who is determined to stop him. Co-starring Miriam Hopkins as a Southern lady who must choose between patriotism and love, and Humphrey Bogart as a ruthless bandit whose only loyalty is to himself. Also included in the DVD package is the 60-minute 1941 Lux Radio Theater presentation of Virginia City, starring Errol Flynn and Martha Scott.
