We got these two railroad companies fighting for the right to run a track over the gorge, one bossed by a tough guy (we'll put a beard on him) who is a louse, and the other by a tougher guy (clean shaven) who's O.K. Then he can fall for this pretty secretary, who's really a spy for the other side. The good company ("without whose help and cooperation this picture could never have been filmed") will have this old general, loved and respected by all his men, as the capitalist in charge.

Little, shaven-polled General Ma was both an illiterate, sharpshooting militarist (who bragged that he could shoot birds from a galloping horse) and a man of cultivated tastes (he fancied Mongolian silks and had staffmen read poetry aloud to him).
