Bob Steele gets his man
.

North-of-the-border tales of how red-coated Mounties got their man are not really Westerns, even if they are filmed in California and star Bob Steele. But we’ll make an exception for this one. Actually, I also made an exception for North West Mounted Police, Saskatchewan, Pony Soldier, Susannah of the Mounties, Fort Vengeance and Dan Candy’s Law, but we won’t talk about that just at the moment.
Unusually for a Poverty Row B-Western of the period, this one is in color, even if today the Cinecolor is a bit degraded and the print not too hot. But otherwise it’s rather a low-budget affair. Still, it’s a lot of fun.

That’s Madge Bellamy on the left

Most of the story is set up in a remote settlement which has a ratty saloon (in which Raymond Hatton is the barman, so that’s good) and there’s a predictable bad guy in a suit (John Hamilton) with henchmen (various). There’s also a local Mountie sergeant (John Litel) who appears to be very laissez-faire about the evident skullduggery going on.
Bob saves the day and unravels the plot, obviously, and is also saddled in the closing scene with the odious woman as they kiss in the convertible, with the Palomino trotting behind. Poor Bob.
Traditional fare. I’ve seen worse. But then I’ve seen a lot better too.
