There's more than a little of Buster Crabbe's "Flash Gordon" in this stylish little shoot-em up. The visual effects (edit wipes), pacy directing and damsel-in-distress themes make for quite a fun, if hardly penetrating, story about a killer (Harry Worth) who hides out in the Canadian wilderness, doubling for a celebrated author, until a suspicious mountie (Kermit Maynard) cottons on and we have ourselves quite a lively adventure. The plot is simple, and the ending never in doubt - after all the "Mountie always gets his man"!
