Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Another of Universal's sloppy serial production
Universal serials, especially westerns, have the same vices and virtues; a good cast and good concept. The delivery is noisy soundtracks, sloppy film editing, 40% stock footage, repitition os such footage, and poor contunuity. The title music is the same as in Winners of the West, and is very memorable, but wasted by the above mentioed production flaws. Serial fans are very tolerate and are not expecting Hamlet, but this is a sound and a fury signifying nothing.

Here we have the standard story line of white men posing as indians, making the indians look bad. I really wanted to like this serial, but the truth prevailed- ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - The Mail Must Go Through
Lon Chaney, Jr. appeared as a minor character in several serials, but he turns up here as the lead in a Western serial. He's as good an actor as most serial leading men, but somehow he doesn't quite fit the part. Although he rides well and has a nice horse (that looks like Trigger), romantic he's not. He's best known, of course, for his classic "The Wolf Man"--in fact, he's the only person ever to have played all four classic movie monsters--the Wolf Man, Frankenstein's Monster, Dracula, and the ...
