    Storyline

    Edit
    • Alternate versions
      In 1997, the Library of Congress created a newly restored version using three sources of materials each of which were incomplete and suffered from nitrate damage. It has an uncredited piano score and runs 58 minutes, with an additional 3 minutes showing differences of domestic and foreign versions in two sequences. Funds were supplied by the Louis B. Mayer Foundation, and the restoration was assisted by the Cinematheque Royale de Belgique, Mrs. Rusty Casselton, Mrs. Liba Wapson and Mrs. Karen Latham Everson. Missing intertitles were re-created from the copyright script. Several missing scenes are explained by intertitles, and there is still sections heavily damaged by nitrate decomposition.

    Really odd minor Ford picture
    Imagine a version of What Price Glory in which the two brawlin' rivals take on a big drug dealer who has a James Bond-like lair complete with submarine. You couldn't have sold that as a blaxploitation film to AIP in the 70s-- though you might be able to sell it as a Jackie Chan movie now-- but who'd have ever thought that you could have sold it as a John Ford picture at Fox in the twenties? That's basically what this very minor but watchable Ford film is about; it might be better if the lost footage, sadly, didn't include the big naval battle scene in the middle. Gaynor is charming as the object of the rivals' affection, though this is no rival to Sunrise as a pairing of her and O'Brien.
