off road driving

Nell Shipman is a young female writer in the Mexican desert struggling to write something new. When she gets kidnapped by bandits, Bill Baxter must come to the rescue. Only he has no horse and must take his car across rugged country.

The bandits look a little silly especially the leader. They should look scarier. The old man should be dead. There is no way that the bandits would let him live. This turns into a film for car fans. It's impressive to see that old car going off road. It's good stunt work.
