(1935, Supreme) Johnny Mack Brown, Helen Ericson, Warner Richmond, Ed Cassidy. one of Johnny's very best. He plays an agent who's brought in to crack a ring of bandits that have been hiding out in the desert. It seems the thieves have been helping themselves to bullion shipments coming out of a local gold mine operated by the evil stepfather of Johnny's gal. A bizarr, almost horrific twist in the plotline has the bandits using wandering drifters lost in the desert for slave labor. One terrific scene has the half-mad captives revolting in a particularly maniacal manner. An intelligent script is complimented by the fine performances and plenty of action. Strongly recommended. From a 16mm original print. watch
