Keaton stars as youthful dreamer Willie McKay, who travels westward on a rickety locomotive to claim his birthright, only to find that his inheritance is a shack. And he learns that the object of his affection (Keaton’s real-life wife, Natalie Talmadge) is the daughter of a man with whom his family has been engaged in a long, violent feud. McKay’s personal struggles are punctuated by brilliant slapstick setpieces that involve an exploding dam, raging waterfalls, and a primitive steam engine. Keaton supervised the design and construction of the train, which he revived two years later for the short The Iron Mule (in which he appears without credit as an Native American chief).

I was quite surprised by how interesting grotesque can be. This is not a completely classical grotesque because it is not about individual funny scenes, but about the overall atmosphere of the story, which is truly good and interesting, sometimes even absurd. However, what surprised me the most was the fact that such amazing stunt tricks are presented here. Stuntmen nowadays could not be ashamed of it. It's as if the actors, led by Keaton, weren't afraid at all. Fascinating and sometimes truly thrilling.
