    • Trivia
      This film is one of over 200 titles in the list of independent feature films made available for television presentation by Advance Television Pictures announced in Motion Picture Herald 4 April 1942. At this time, television broadcasting was in its infancy, almost totally curtailed by the advent of World War II, and would not continue to develop until 1945-1946. Because of poor documentation (feature films were often not identified by title in conventional sources) no record has yet been found of its initial television broadcast. It's earliest documented telecast took place in Washington DC Wednesday 3 December 1947 on WTTG (Channel 5); it was next aired in New York City Saturday 18 September 1948 on WATV (Channel 13), in Detroit Thursday 31 March 1949 on WJBK (Channel 2), in Cincinnati Thursday 1 December 1949 on WCPO (Channel 7), in Philadelphia Sunday 18 December 1949 on WCAU (Channel 10), and in Atlanta Monday 26 December 1949 on WSB (Channel 8).

    This film stars Kermit and Fuzzy...and it's NOT a Muppet film!
    Sgt. Gale Farrell is a Mountie and he's looking for the bandit, 'The Raven'. Well, the search doesn't take long, as the bandit tries stealing one of Farrell's horses....and is, of course, captured. On The Raven's possession is a letter introducing him to a crook named McClain and so he pretends to be The Raven to infiltrate the gang and find out who McClain's partner is.

    If the plot sounds awfully familiar, you're right. Quite a few B-westerns used this plot device. So is it any good? Yes and no. The stuntwork done by Kermit Maynard during the film is incredible...and he shows off his horsemanship. Also, Fuzzy Knight is decent as the NOT stupid Mountie....a nice change of pace. But on the other, Maynard's charisma is pretty low and there's not a lot to distinguish other than seeing Jim Thorpe as a native early in the film...yes, THAT Jim Thorpe.
