Marc Klaw and Abraham Erlanger produced Edmund Day's four-act drama, which opened on 26 August 1907 at the New Amsterdam Theatre for 155 performances, with a return engagement in 1908. Jack Payson has stolen the affections of Dick Lane's wife and, ridden with guilt, he heads to the desert to find Lane. When he finally reaches Lane, Payson finds himself caught up in an Apache attack during which the friends renew their bond. However, Lane is killed and Payton, having salved his conscience, returns to Lane's wife. A 1932 revival failed to find favor, but The Round Up became a successful motion picture starring Richard Dix in 1941.
