Fun, action packed, and even a bit musical, this Tex Ritter B western is amusing not only for those aspects but for the swell, snowy photography that includes stampedes by dozens of elks, shots of other wild animals dealing with the weather and even a deadly looking avalanche. The wind machine on the set of this film definitely got a good use as it is heard whistling throughout, combined with wolf howls, villains making threats (which they ultimately regret), and a cute kid who's just as heroic as Tex. In a sense, the film is a bit too much of so much good that at just under an hour, my biggest complaint about it is just not the film is way too busy so the viewer finds that there is less of a story even though there is a ton of action. Still worth a watch for some great novelty musical numbers and the decent special effects surrounding the constant inclement weather of this beautiful great outdoors.
