In the first of ten movies pairing Kirby Grant and the dog actor Chinook as a Mountie and his canine assistant, the duo are pursuing bank robbers when a battle involving a split in the gang ends with one crook dead and Grant’s character (here named Bob McDonald, though for most of the series he was called Corporal Rod Webb) wounded. Aided by a saloon keeper (Dan Seymour), the man’s daughter (Suzanne Dalbert), and a young man who had helped in the robbery (Bill Edwards, as the son of the robber killed in the double-cross), and of course his loyal dog, our protagonist soon gets to the bottom of things. The film is an enjoyable introduction to the series. Recommended for Northern fans.
