This little Canadian picture, shot in British Columbia with a handful of American "B" players and a largely Canadian cast is O.K., but you've seen it all before as crime dramas go. It's an interesting story penned by famous silents director and "B" actor in silent and sound films, J.P. McGowan just not too original. Lyle Talbot and Eddie Acuff very good in their roles. This has very good picture quality but the sound is very low and you can miss a lot. A relic for buffs only.
