The Yellow Mountain is a 1954 American Western film directed by Jesse Hibbs and starring Lex Barker, Mala Powers and Howard Duff.

A regular gambler is "Jackpot" (whose daughter, Nevada, is the films love interest and the town's ore assayer).

But neither mine can keep the loyalty of mule drivers to transport the ore to the smelter to turn into cash and continue the price war.

Martin, Nevada and Jackpot figure that something is up, work the mine, find high-quality ore that will control the whole area's strikes but are observed by one of the hoodlums.

All ends in sweetness and light, with a fight scene between the two original partners which throws back (or forward) to "Gilligan's Island".
