Ace the Wonder Dog, RKO's answer to Rin Tin Tin -- not that anyone had asked the question -- is introduced in this Richard Dix programmer.
Dix was a leading star at RKO from 1929 through 1940, but for RKO this meant handsomely mounted B movies that his loyal fans would go to see, and which could be used to introduce interesting new talent, like Ace. Here Richard Dix pretends to be blind in order to recover incriminating letters that might result in his sister being blackmailed -- don't ask me why his being blind would help.
Richard Dix ambles through the movie with his usual muscular performance. It is unsurprising he had his fans. Even the fact that this movie ends with a closeup of Ace the Wonder Dog doesn't fool anyone. A talented performer, yes, but we was no Richard Dix.
