Dangerous Nan McGrew is the sharp-shooting expert of a traveling medicine show that is stranded in the Canadian northwest at the snowbound hunting lodge of wealthy Mrs. Benson. Nan is invited to put on a show for the benefit of Mrs. Benson's Christmas-Eve guests. While performing her boop-a-doop songs, Eustace Macy, the saxophone-tooting nephew of Mrs. Benson falls in love with Nan. And, then, the villain, the bank-robbing Doc Foster, makes his entrance. Can Dawes of the Royal Mounted be seen…

Helen Kane's Only Billing Role and her last movie (1930). Earlier than that from (1929) she was more of a support actress. Helen also performs two of her well known songs.

★★★★★ · What a treat! · ohrabbits · 2010-11-30
I'd never seen Helen Kane before. As the movie started, and she was nowhere in sight, I didn't have high hopes. She comes on, and transforms everything. What a doll and a total hoot.

It looks like someone filmed it while it was being projected on their closet wall...with the door shut..through a dirty t-shirt. It's almost impossible to make out faces and there's a slight echo in the sound. However, I'll try watching it again at a later date because the best I can tell by the few moments I did watch the acting didn't seem all that bad.
