- DirectorHerman C. RaymakerStarsCaesar the DogFrancis McDonaldHeinie ConklinWhile the original title, "Trailing the Killer" isn't a misnomer, it was a bit misleading since the "trailer" is a dog named Caesar (Caesar the Dog) and the killer is a mountain lion, aka a cougar or puma, as the narrator quickly clarifies. But the makers also pointed out that Caesar "is the most intelligent dog actor since Rin-Tin-Tin" which probably lured a few Rin-Tin-Tin fans with a show-me attitude. Caesar prowls around the Northwest woods, dispatches a rattlesnake, visits his she-wolf mate and their pups, pauses to watch a raccoon personally washing every morsel of food before eating it--and that raccoon had enough food to use up several minutes of running time--then saves sheepherder Pierre (Francis McDonald) from getting eaten up by one mean mountain lion. Rin-Tin-Tin he ain't, but then who was? Commonwealth changed the title to "Call of the Wilderness" when they acquired it for 16mm rental to the school market.
- DirectorRobert Emmett TanseyStarsJohn PrestonDynamite the HorseCaptain King of DogsBe forewarned that "Captain (King of Dogs)" and "Dynamite (The Wonder Horse)" are billed above all of the cast except John Preston (who?), which means RCMP Sergeant Bruce Morton (John Preston) is going to spend a lot of time talking to Dynamite (Dynamite the Horse) and Captain (Captain King of Dogs), and the scary thing is they react better than most of the cast. Inspector Dawson (Harry Beery) promises "Morton of the Mounted" a long-awaited vacation as soon as he solves the mystery of who killed an old fur trapper called Old Dan Parker (Fred Parker) and a Mountie named McGee. Morton and his Mountie sidekick Corporal Tiny Anderson (Tiny Skelton) hit the tundra and Morton, or the dog or the horse or all three, save Mildred Boynton (Myrla Bratton) from a tormentor. She says she and her brother, Bill Boynton (James Sheridan) are staying at a nearby lumber camp and she is worried about Bill as he has become friends with a man named Burke (Tom London) who causes Bill to drink too much. And, besides that, Burke is constantly forcing his unwanted attentions upon her. Morton allows as how he'll try to straighten Bill out when it is obvious Burke needs a little talking to himself. Morton has barely arrived when Burke ambushes him, ties him up and forces Bill, dressed as a Mountie, to go rob the lumber camp payroll. Morton, after being rescued by the dual efforts of Captain and Dynamite -- one of them notified the other of Morton's problem -- finally begins to suspect that Burke may be the root of all the problems and takes after him. Bill brings the robbery loot back to Burke, who shows his appreciation by shooting him dead, and Burke takes off. But Morton is not far behind.

- DirectorRobert N. BradburyStarsTex RitterEarl DwireWhite FlashThis was one of the earlier uses of Robert Tansey's favorite plot (only the 3rd time he had trotted it out of the stable, but he got six more films out of it in later years) in which a group of outlaws (wrongly jailed this time) are let out to join up with the good guys against a worse bunch of outlaws. And, not unusual in the B-western genre, most of the production crew wore several hats; director Robert N. Bradbury and supervisor Lindsley Parsons wrote a song for Tommy Bupp, one of the actually good kid actors of the time who proved real quick-like that singing wasn't his strong suit, while Robert Emmett Tansey worked three jobs under three names... Robert Emmett on story and screenplay, Robert Tansey as the production manager and Al Lane as the assistant director. And, for a change, music director Frank Sanucci actually earned a composers' credit as he did write a song, as opposed to the multi-times some source keeps insisting on crediting him as a composer when he was really the musical director serving up canned music. Roving horse-trader Tex Randall (Tex Ritter) and Hank Hank Worden swap horses with a fleeing outlaw, The Tombstone Kid (Archie Ricks), and the pursuing Sheriff Grey (Ed Cassidy) comes along and arrests Tex as the man he was pursuing. But the man who framed the Tombstone Kid , saloon owner and leader of a horse-theft gang, James Clark (Earl Dwire), clears Tex and he is released. Clark then rigs the wheel at his saloon so Tex can win some money and buy the stolen herd of horses Clark can't get across the border, then has a henchman steal the receipt and also has plans to get the horses back. Tex and Hank swap herds with Dad Reed (Jack C. Smith), so Clark has him arrested for horse theft also. Things don't get much better for Tex and Hank until the Tombstone Kid shows up and shoots henchman Slug (Charles King just as he is about to shoot Tex. This is because when Tex swapped Tombstone a fresh horse back in the first reel, Tombstone thanks him and says something about casting "bread upon the water" (which Tex has to explain to Hank is from the Bible). They ride back to town with proof of Clark's double-dealing, and the sheriff lets Tombstone's six men out of jail, and they join Tex, their ranks now swollen to about fifty riders, to chase Clark and his gang across the plains in a chase-type scene much favored by director Bradbury over the years. That only leaves time for Tex to explain to Jean Reed (Jerry Bergh), the rancher's daughter, that he is really an agent for the Soutland Railraod, commissioned to pay a large price for the right-of-way through her father's ranch.
- DirectorRobert StevensonStarsDorothy McGuireFess ParkerTommy KirkA teenage boy grows to love a stray yellow dog while helping his mother and younger brother run their Texas homestead while their father is away on a cattle drive.

- DirectorIlisa BarbashLucien Castaing-TaylorIn the summer of 2003, a group of shepherds took a herd of sheep one final time through the Beartooth Mountains of Montana, in the extreme north-west of the United States.

- DirectorFrank McDonaldStarsKirby GrantChinookElena VerdugoLouis, a fur trapper in Northwestern Canada, sees a killer wolf while hunting, then returns to the La Fontaine Trading Post and tells his sister Andrée about it. Later, Canadian Mountie Rod MacDonald and his dog Chinook answer a call for help from the proprietor of the trading post, and as soon as they arrive, they see the wolf standing over a body it has killed. After Chinook attacks the wolf, Rod realizes the two animals are almost identical. Rod then visits Louis' cabin, where he is held at gunpoint until Andrée recognizes him as a friend of their Uncle Henri, who has been murdered recently by the wolf. That night, Rod shows them the collar that Chinook ripped off the neck of the wolf, which suggests the animal is trained. At an inquest into the latest trapper's death, Andrée reveals that Henri left her and Louis a map of supposed treasures located in the white woods, where the wolf roams. When Andreé and Louis return to their cabin with Rod, they find that thieves have knocked out Chinook and stolen the map. They revive Chinook, and Andrée tells Rod about Henri's reputation for eccentricity and prospecting. When Rod brings Chinook into town the next day, the townspeople think the dog is the killer wolf and, led by trapper Biroff, beat up Rod. Physician F. J. McKenzie warns Rod to leave town, but Rod is determined to fight, and the next day he hears from a local Indian, White Eagle, about the legend surrounding the wolf, who is said to protect the silver mines of the white woods, land which used to be an Indian burial ground. When Rod and Chinook then go to the white woods, Biroff's thug Antoine follows and shoots Rod, who collapses and is rescued by Louis. Dr. McKenzie revives Rod and tells his nurse, Red Feather, to stay with him. As she eavesdrops, Rod, Louis and Andrée re-draw and decipher Henri's map. Rod leaves the next day to find a duplicate map at the nearby trading post, but discovers that someone has beaten him to it. Meanwhile, Biroff kills Antoine to keep him from talking, and dumps the body where the doctor finds it and declares that Chinook is the killer. As the townsmen descend on Chinook, Andrée urges the dog to run into the woods. Later, Louis sets off to kill the wolf and clear Chinook. When he gets to the white woods, Biroff and his men, Dupree and Baptiste, torture him. Louis will not reveal the location of the mines, however, so Biroff kidnaps Andrée with Red Feather's help, while Chinook watches, trapped in the kitchen. Rod returns to the cabin, and after Chinook leads him to the canoe, where Rod sees Andrée's necklace, they set off for the white woods. There, they ambush the outlaws as they are about to burn Andrée, but Dr. McKenzie sneaks up behind Rod and takes his gun away, revealing that he is the force behind a scheme to keep everyone away from the mines while he excavates them, using the trained killer wolf as his front. Chinook attacks Dr. McKenzie and, after a fight, Rod, Chinook, Andrée and Louis subdue the outlaws, who then are arrested by Rod.
