Wait! Isn't There Supposed to Be...?
silentmoviefan26 December 2013
Warning: Spoilers
This movie turns into a pretty good action yarn before it's through...

However, it's through before its time! Among other things, isn't the hero supposed to be reunited with his leading lady? The villain, a nasty guy named Blake, appears to be dealt with. Jack, the hero, is shown running back up a hill when...

THE END!! Hold on a minute here. He's not through! It looks like the film company ran out of film...

I'm glad I read the cast line-up. For some reason, I had Guinn "Big Boy" Williams as Blake, but instead he's Jack.

Then there's the dog, Strongheart. He not only is athletic, he's pretty darn smart, too! Without seeing Blake shoot Williams, the sheep guy, he knows that Blake did it! If this had taken place in London England, Sherlock Holmes would have had to go smell pipes or something...

A cattleman needs water for his cattle. He dispatches Blake over to Williams with a $5,000 check to purchase the water. Williams doesn't want to see and once Blake learns that Williams has no intention of selling the water, he gets behind a tree and shoots Williams dead! For shame! Blake then makes matters worse be telling the cattleman that Williams took the money and agreed to sell the water. The cattleman finds out differently and is none to pleased.

Blake, one mean hombre(!) tries to pin the murder on Jack. Jack's about to be hung before some people intervene.

Like in most Westerns, there's a lady involved. She's not bad-looking and is the niece of the cattleman. She is who Jack should be reunited with before the end of the picture.

The place I purchased this movie from had quite a bit of nerve in selling this thing! It doesn't have the end! The reason I gave this movie a "6" is because of the action up to it.

Both Big Boy Williams and Wolfheart the dog do a good job here

This is a surprisingly entertaining Western. I don't know where my source for obscure cinema found this one but I think it is available through Life Is A Movie and possibly through Hollywood's Attic/Discount Video Tapes.

The cinematography is good, the pace fast and the characters realistic. Wolfheart, a small German Shepherd, starred in a number of films during the mid- 1920s. I wish I knew what became of him. Guinn (Big Boy) Williams went on to a career playing goofy cowboys in the sound era but here he does a straight dramatic role.
