While a gambler named Oakhurst, a lady of ill-repute, and a drunkard are indeed present in 20th Century Fox's The Outcasts of Poker Flat, it would require copious use of an opium pipe to discover any further similarities between the film and the Bret Harte story of the same moniker. This is not to say that the net result isn't mildly diverting, which it is, though the melodrama gets a little sticky around the fourth reel...
