A nice little second feature, the last directed by silent perennial Chester Franklin -- brother of Sidney Franklin, with whom he co-directed a lot of children's movies in the teens.
We needn't go too much into the details of the plot, which are pretty harmless as you might expect of anything with Rin-Tin-Tin Jr. and Jackie Cooper away from his home base of MGM. However, it is a pleasure to watch Joseph Calleia, who was almost invariably cast as a gangster in evening clothes -- his best known role was probably as the sexually ambivalent boss of Glenn Ford in GILDA -- as a tough guy reformed by Coop's innocence and, of course, Rinty. He does very well with the role.
