Wissenswertes

Lumberjack Men and their women

Some elements of Tiger Shark and a lot of footage and some of the plot of Valley Of The Giants are involved in this knockoff picture from Warner Brothers B picture unit. Stanley Fields is King Of The Lumberjacks in his local logging area. But he's without a Queen.

That problem might be solved by the arrival of Gloria Dickson in camp and they marry in a whirlwind courtship. But then John Payne who was a kind of protege for Fields returns. Payne and Dickson have history and I don't need to say any more.

Logging sequences and the climax of the runaway logging train are edited into this film from Valley Of The Giants.

If you like tall trees and the trio of stars this film is yours.
