This one stays afloat for a while due to nice cinematography, a nice preppy performance by Noah Berry Jr. and wonderful scenery passing for Canada. Some fine stunts at the end are ruined by poor soundtrack work.
The modern clothes on the female lead, typical of this series, this time was matched by modern clothes on the men in the train. The viewer isn't sure if its a Western or 1930's gangster film for a few minutes.
The funniest thing in the film is a mistake. When Wayne and Berry find a gold mind, it is quite dark inside. Wayne lights a small candle and about 10,000 watts of light floods the set.
There is one nicely directed scene. Wayne and Berry come upon two skeletons. They looked genuinely surprised. Its an unexpected and suspenseful moment.
