Just because its from Monogram, PRC, Republic or one of the other dozens of B studios that lined up with offices heading towards downtown Los Angeles doesn't mean that it isn't a good film. Sometimes all it took was a little Ingenuity, a good story that people could get engrossed by and a Director of Photography with a knowledge of how to make the most out of very little. That's the case of this action/adventure film starring Grace Bradley as a woman who enters her dogs into shows and Michael Whalen as the man who rescues her and Mantan Moreland when their plane crashes in the Yukon. The film focuses on the search for one of the missing dogs from the plane with the aide of the other one who is revealed to be part wolf.
Darryl Hickman is his adorable ward of course enthralled by the courageous mixed breed, and of course a romance develops between Whalen and Bradley. Moreland too finds romance with the always delightful Louise Beavers although theirs is more comical and a bit cliched with the typical black stereotypes. Beavers plays a character named Beulah, and of course would later play another Beulah on TV.
The missing dog is found by some rather shady trappers who lie to Whalen about the dog's fate and try to make a profit by selling it for higher than the reward offer. Shadow, the wolf, and Smoky, the pure bread, are of course adorable although Shadow is vicious when he senses evil, and very protective of those he loves. This is the type of film that you can watch and get through quickly, and come out feeling completely satisfied.
