While surveying a telegraph line in 1861, Western Union engineer Edward Creighton (Dean Jagger) is severely injured in an accident. He is discovered by Vance Shaw (Randolph Scott), an outlaw on the run from a posse. Forced to travel on foot after his horse was hurt, Shaw at first considers stealing Creighton's horse, but changes his mind and takes the man with him, saving his life.
Sometime later, following his recovery, Creighton returns to Omaha, Nebraska and plans the construction of a telegraph line from Omaha to Salt Lake City, Utah. Facing considerable opposition to the line from Confederate soldiers, Indians, and outlaws, Creighton elicits the help of his sister Sue (Virginia Gilmore), foreman Pat Grogan (Minor Watson), and assistant Homer Kettle (Chill Wills).
Looking to put his outlaw past behind him, Shaw arrives at Creighton's Western Union office looking for honest work and is hired as a scout by Grogan who is unaware of his past. Creighton recognizes him among the men and allows him to stay despite his suspicions. Creighton also hires tenderfoot Richard Blake (Robert Young), a Harvard-educated engineer as a favor to Blake's father. Shaw and Blake are both attracted to Sue and vie for her attention, but their romantic rivalry is cut short when construction of the telegraph line starts on July 4, 1861.
After work commences on the line, one of the men is killed apparently by a mysterious band of cattle-rustling Indians. Unconvinced that Indians are to blame, Shaw rides out to investigate and follows the rustlers' trail to the camp of Jack Slade, a former friend and cohort, whose gang committed the killing disguised as Indians—the gang Shaw left following his last bank robbery. Slade reveals that they are working for the Confederacy to disrupt Western Union because they believe the telegraph service will help the Union. Shaw rides away and returns to the line. Not wanting to turn in his former friends, Shaw tells Creighton that a large band of Dakota Indians stole the cattle, and recommends that they simply replace the herd and not risk a fight with the Indians.
Sometime later, a confrontation takes place between men working on the forward line and a band of drunken Indians. When one of the Indians tries to steal some equipment, a nervous Blake shoots him, ignoring Shaw's order to remain calm. After word arrives that the main camp is under attack by other Indians, the Western Union men rush back to help with the defense. At the main camp, Slade's men, who are again disguised as Indians, steal the Western Union horses. The company discover the ruse when one of the wounded Indians turns out to be a white man. Forced to buy back their stolen horses from Slade, Creighton becomes suspicious of Shaw's involvement, especially when he admits to knowing the gang.
Soon the U.S. Army arrives and announces the Indians have now refused to allow the telegraph lines to go through their territory in response to Blake's shooting of the drunken Indian. Creighton, Shaw, and Blake ride out to convince Chief Spotted Horse to allow them to build the line through Indian territory, even though the man Blake wounded was Spotted Horse's son. Creighton is finally able to persuade the Indians to allow them passage, and work continues until the company approaches Salt Lake City.
Sometime later, Shaw receives word that Jack Slade wants to meet with him. On the way to see Slade, Shaw is captured and bound by Slade's men. Slade says his group is going to burn down the Western Union camp and they don't want Shaw to interfere. After Slade and his men ride off, Shaw escapes from his ropes but arrives back too late to prevent the fire. He helps rescue some of the Western Union men from the flames and burns his hands in the process.
After the fire, Creighton confronts Shaw for an explanation, but Shaw does not reveal what he knows and is fired by Creighton. As Shaw leaves the camp, he tells Blake that Slade is actually Shaw's brother and that he, Shaw, will find Slade's gang and stop them from interfering with the telegraph project. Shaw rides off and finds Slade and his men in a nearby town. At the barber shop, Shaw confronts his brother, whose gun is concealed under the barber's sheet. Slade shoots Shaw through the sheet. Shaw fights back in spite of his wound, killing some of the gang members, and then dies. Blake arrives and continues the fight with Slade who dies from his wounds. Soon after, the Western Union line is completed and the workers celebrate. When Sue laments the absence of Shaw, Creighton tells her that Shaw can hear them.
喜剧还是挺成功的 没啥逻辑铺垫 特效也有点三毛 不动脑子傻乐就完了
逗比风格贯彻始终，有风格就是好的，但优点也仅限于此
多年前看过一部这杨的电影忘记叫什么名字，后来就是廖凡主演的，师傅。这部电影好评
剧情弱 场面还行
4、演员都很卖力，每一个演员，这是这电影好的关键。这一点现在中国电影已经难以办到了。咱们就是一提到贺岁搞笑无厘头好像就觉得演技是多余，其实演技是支持成每一部电影的灵魂，不管是什么类型电影，而不是一群流量来圈钱。
非常好看的电影，就是不知道为什么豆瓣评分低，导致我一开始还以为是烂片，不论是布景，武打动作还是剧情都很好看，剧情也不烂俗，只要出刀的最后都死了，江湖的残酷很真实
挺好！搞笑，刺激！
我觉得还可以的，剧情还是很流畅的，就是剧情有点不饱满。但是比起现在一大推垃圾电影，这个电影还算是正宗的侠客电影了。整体还行有锦衣卫的感觉。剧情线路好单一
韩式《加勒比海盗》，冒险、热血、搞笑，下饭的话也还算可以，挺有意思的，希望别有下部了……
比第一部差，搞笑部分实在是刻意又无聊！剧情嘛简单又老套，基本上相当于复制了第一部！
趣味与观赏性十足，主演们的默契都很不错啊，我的笑点都在光洙身上了，哈哈，5.9也太低了吧
好久没看过这么一无是处的韩国电影了，可惜了这帮演员…
韩孝周好看，李光洙搞笑哈哈哈。寻宝，最后拿到了金子。
这年月还有人认真拍武侠片？不易！主创很用心，良心网络电影。
还行吧，就是真的太吵了，韩国人太爱喊叫了，有点受不了。
李光洙装疯卖傻，韩孝周扮酷耍帅，拙劣的特效与《无极》有得一拼。我强烈怀疑这部电影里的牛群是从《无极》里拷贝过来的。
江湖险恶，武林趋于真实。打斗是亮点，很耐看。有漏洞和不合理之处，但拍的总体算不错了。
【可以改善的：整个影片的信息量不够】
3872条龙!哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈看得好开心就够了，况且特效啊打戏设计啊寻宝啊都不错，毕竟海盗题材电影很少嘛！为了最后权相宇的死法，我给满分💯!!
连第一部李成桂威化岛回军的背景都没变，换了个姿势又拍了一遍，而且比第一部更乱更吵闹。除了韩孝周的颜没有一个点好看的。
