★★★ · And Now A Real Review · bobsluckycat · 2005-07-09
First this a superior print, probably for TV, as the running time has about 10 minutes shaved off to fit an hour viewing time. Cuts are not too intrusive, but you know they are there, as the story jumps somewhat. It is a Rin-Tin-Tin Jr. picture and he is the star and the story focus but the cast is quite good. Bushman and Wilde make a believeable couple. Earl Dwire, George Cheesbro, Steve Clark cast somewhat aginst type only underscore how professional they really were. Down in the credits, note assistant director R.G. Springsteen who would go one to be a prolific and well respected director…

Francis X. Bushman Jr. (Yes, his son!) and Rin Tin Tin Jr. (blood line questionable) star together in this somewhat implausable, but still entertaining barn-buster featuring an RCMP officer trying to find out who murdered a fur trapper, and why the fur trapper's daughter has embezzled from the company she works for! Happily, Rin Tin Tin is there to help sort out this mystery (Damn, that is one smart dog.. He knows who's the bad guy and the good guy AND which path the bad guys take to escape!). So this is all nonsense, not really to be taken seriously (including the atrocious Canadian accents…

Rin Tin Tin was born in France during WWI. Lee Duncan found him and brought him to America. For years Duncan trained Rinty. First to voice commands in silent films and then to hand signals for "talkies". Rin Tin Tin was enormously popular and his films were so profitable they are given credit for helping Warner Brother studios from bankruptcy. He was nicknamed "the mortgage lifter" by studio big wigs. After Rin Tin Tin died in 1932, he was shipped to France to be buried in a pet cemetery outside Paris. The dog in this film is not Rin Tin Tin but is said to be a descendant.
