It isn't very often that you find a credit for "vocal interpolations" on a film, but this little pioneering western has that very thing! It also indicates that there may be a might crooning going on as Randolph Scott escorts Gail Patrick and her wagon train across hostile terrain, through blizzards ... and against hostile Apache. There is something engagingly sheepish about the star, he is like a lovestruck calf as he slowly falls for the feisty lady and at under an hour, this manages to pack quite a lot in before building nicely to a creatively staged and lively conclusion. The production is certainly a bit basic, but it's an enjoyable action packed adventure that I rather enjoyed.
