Corruption in the great outdoor brings out once again the heroic mountie Rob Webb (Kirby Grant), anxious to find out what has happdned to the disappearing licals, with the help of his fearless dog Chinook and the beautiful Anne Gwynne, daughter of one of those missing. This leads then to the corrupy Lynne Roberts and Tom Neal, with support from Russell Simpson and Marc Krah in breaking the case. Chinook seems to know who is good and who is bad so there are several scenes where the peppy pup jumps on various bad guys. You just know that the bad guys who are out to gain control of some gold mine claims are going to be exposed and dealt with accordingly, so it is no surprise how fast it happens.
Some great outdoor sets make life in the northwest look quite exciting, and in black and white, it looks much more realistic than it probably would have had it been made in color. The good guys are tough but really good, and the bad guys are equally tough but really evil, so it becomes the desire to see good win over bad and for Grant, who has been down this territory several times, as a mountie, to get the bad guy as well as his good woman. Chinook is fun to watch, a well-trained dog, and the film moves at a steady pace, seldomly dragging and not outstaying its welcome. I've seen most of the other films in this series, and they're pretty decent, easy to watch yet quickly forgettable because of the similar plots and resolutions.
