Copyright 4 May 1939 by Republic Pictures Corp. No recorded New York opening. U.S. release: 4 May 1939. U.K. release through British Lion. No Australian theatrical release. 6 reels. 59 minutes.
SYNOPSIS: Autry and Frog track down fur smugglers in the Canadian snow country.
NOTES: Autry's 32nd of his 94 films.
COMMENT: June Storey is an attractive little heroine and it's nice to see some of our favorite villains like Harry Woods, Glenn Strange, Eddie Cobb and Jack Ingram on deck. Al Bridge is in the cast too but this time firmly on the side of the law!
There are some pleasant songs and now and again there is a brief spurt of action, but though the film is directed by the well-known 2nd unit action director B. Reeves Eason, surprisingly the action spots are rather tamely staged and never amount to much. Even the climax is disappointingly short.
Mr. Burnette's comedy routines are similarly lacking in sparkle, but at least their brevity is a blessing.
