    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      This is one of 20 Zane Grey stories, filmed by Paramount in the 1930s, which they sold to Favorite Films for re-release, circa 1949-1950. The failure of Paramount, the original copyright holder, to renew the film's copyright resulted in it falling into public domain, meaning that virtually anyone could duplicate and sell a VHS/DVD copy of the film. Therefore, many of the versions of this film available on the market are either severely (and usually badly) edited and/or of extremely poor quality, having been duped from second- or third-generation (or more) copies of the film.

      Brett Dale: Now don't try that again.

      Alice Gaynor: I'll kill you the next time!

      Brett Dale: If you do, I'll spank you again.

    Scenery, Mustache & African Lions
    This is a standard Western with all the proper elements: do-right hero (R. Scott), do-wrong villain (Noah Beery), henchmen and "characters", pretty scenery, and African lions (???).

    It is interesting to see a youthful Randolph Scott with a face-altering mustache and spouting an odd aristocratic Southern dialect ("they ah coming hyeah") while masquerading as a woman-hating mountain man.

    The "mountain lions" are of course African lions loaned out from Tarzan.

    The scenery, wherever it is, is very nice: mountains and lonesome pines.

    Noah Beery makes a nice villain, really very good at it, and Verna Hillie is attractive enough.

    The plot and acting are no more absurd than a million other B-westerns.
