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.
没有什么剧情 但是就是很无脑搞笑 Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba Banana 片头曲还是邓紫棋唱的《Bang Bang》丨@ Pathé Breda, 23 Jun 2022
中华元素满满，小黄人这么正能量这么萌还不够好吗
看到前传很多小细节与后来的故事连起来 有种恍如隔世的感觉
可能是看的时候吃了热狗变得很饱，看到后半部分睡着了一小会儿……
好多中国元素哈哈哈。开始那是水帘洞吗:)太可爱了吧 我的笑点永远那么小孩子
小格鲁好可爱hhh//前面是看之前写的//呜呜呜小黄人好可爱萌死了 这么多中国元素一定是在迎合中国市场吧 但不知道能不能上映//好多音乐元素 导演估计是乐迷吧 时代背景是70s美国吗 街上每个人穿的都跟搞摇滚的一样🤘🏻
极多中国元素，密集到恶搞
太好看了太好看了！！！！想二刷的程度！！！！！中国元素很多，太喜欢了
讲述格鲁的小时候的故事，不得不说又被这群小黄人萌到了，有时傻乎乎但是关键时候对小主人的爱与忠诚也是无语言表。很意外这部剧加入了超级多中国元素，包括唐人街的场景，海外庆祝中国春节，还有从中国生肖，功夫，中医，音乐等多方面，作为华人来说是非常喜欢！还是得说三个主要的minions，真的太可爱了，最爱Bob这个臭弟弟！！影院看电影的时候，发现不仅华人喜欢，身边的老外们也很喜欢里面的中国元素，个人感到很骄傲自豪！！
过于幼稚不是最大的问题，而是创作上的偷懒和整体的无趣。小Gru的经历本身并没有太大看点，而中国元素的应用简直让人扶额，相比之下功夫熊猫也不算糟了
超级宣传中国文化的一部 电影里还说的是Chinese new year有心了 想养一群小黄人
当个下饭电影还行，特地去看没什么必要。感觉都是一些烂梗了。
我竟然觉得比青春变形记的中国元素要好...因为是小黄人 所以可以无厘头地顺理成章
看到前传很多小细节与后来的故事连起来 有种恍如隔世的感觉
先说好的地方，看到了博士年轻时的样子，还有一眼就知道主角长大以后的房子家具风格来自哪里。但就我来说笑点一只手能数过来。只要他们一跑起来就用那个手游的配乐，让人回想起这些小东西有多聒噪的事实。整体感觉就是挺低级的屎尿屁，有点小时候大人批评蜡笔小新那意思了。还有就是一看就很渡边直美的功夫大师这段吧，刚开始有一丢丢惊喜后面都给你无聊回去了，也是，你能指望这群黄色的东西在短期内有任何成长才是在做梦吧。我可真是活该明知道吹替难听，硬要买这个只有吹替的所谓特别料金场，多花的票价可能是用来替电影院装饰小黄人元素和请lisa联名了。
笑死了！小鸡minions多可爱啊！小胖子minion追车笑死了. 浓浓的中国元素，旧金山元素，太真实啦，走路走到累哈哈哈 12生肖打架哈哈哈 GEM的片头曲太有印度风哈哈哈
太好看了，小黄人旧金山唐人街大战恶毒六怪！各种中国元素，片头曲还是中文。只可惜意识形态的原因，有些情节可能教坏小朋友，特别是小黄人冒充机长胡乱驾驶飞机，在国内刚刚出现航空事故的背景下是无法上映了。
中国元素还挺多，小黄人可爱，而且戏份足，我已经满意了
不是有免费的电影票我是不会来看的（但是还蛮好笑的哈哈哈
果然没有人能拒绝小黄人嘤嘤嘤，什么都答应他们！！！这部前传中国元素拉满，不过我有个疑问，英女王冠冕难道不如中国一块又生肖又八卦的金镶玉值钱吗？笑死，中华武术超神发挥了，这下做实中国人均武林高手的传言了。片头中文歌我在电影院笑出声…
