Jack Perrin and all the other actors sound as if their reading from prompt cards - stiff, matter-of-fact and boring. Plus, the "star" Perrin has all the charisma of a clam. IMDb says Ellen Mack was in 53 films between 1917-41, often as a comic character - here the best she can do is look pretty. The only person who isn't reading from s card is Snowflake (Fred Toones) who is unfortunately here as a racial stereotype of the day the "yassa, massa" type, afraid of his own shadow, who carries a straight razor for protection. The plot, used in at least 2 other westerns I have seen, involves smuggling Chinese men across the Mexican border. The smugglers happen to be based at Perrin's ranch, so he's called home from the army to solve the problem. Production values are nil. Its watchable on a one-time only basis and for those researching similar plots or racial stereotypes - Chinese, Black, and Mexican - in 1930s films. IMDb says its 59:00, we get 56:05 here.

Ultra low-budget, mostly set-bound oater is long on talk and short on action, which is poorly staged and significantly less than exciting. Middle-aged Jack Perrin is no-charisma Hair-Trigger Casey. Wonder horse Starlight stands around being a horse. The rest of the cast stands around not being actors. The director appears to have been asleep.

The complete print has fair video quality and okay audio.
