A Mountie Gets His Man -- No Matter What the Name
1 November 2014
Charles Starrett takes some time off from being a cowboy to be a mountie in this run-of-the-mill effort. Try not to pay too close attention to the IMDb credits; Starrett's character is not named "Alan Barclay" but "Alan Craig"; Finis Martin is not "Ann" but "Jean" and screenwriter J.P. McGowan, whose career went back to Kalem in 1909, plays not "Barstow" but "The Blacksmith." I have no idea where the glitch arose, but there you are.

Anyway, Charlie goes to take a look in lumbering territory where a fellow Mountie has been killed, and while the uniform and place are differemt, he still rides a horse. There are some decent outdoors shots, although most of them look like second-unit work. Other than that, it might have been a western with Starrett playing a Texas Ranger yet again.
