This serial has a very good group of actors. Jack Mulhall, in the leading role, had a career that.spanned the silent era and ended in 1959. Rex Lease appeared in over 300 films. Robert Frazer also starred in silent films and will be remember for his roles in "White Zombie" and "The Vampire Bat." Mae Busch made the transition from silents to sound films and joined Hal Roach and began her association with Laurel and Hardy. Yakima Canutt was a stuntman and often doubled for John Wayne.
Of the four reviews now present, most take a condescending approach to this serial. One calls Jack Mulhall "a horrible actor," which he is not. Another states that the serial "appears to me to be an intentional comedy." Granted it was made in 1936, but it still is entertaining. The fighting scenes are staged poorly, which is surprising since Canutt was an excellent stuntman, but he may not have been consulted, since the fighting is not his style or up to his standards.
