Notes
Although a print of this film was not viewed, the above credits were taken from a British release print. No American reviews of this film were located. In May 1936, the film was submitted to New York State censors for approval. At the time of this submission, the length of the picture was listed as 4,836 feet; however, when the film was later approved, it was listed at 3,618 feet. The British publication Kinematograph Weekly reviewed the film in November 1936 and cited Equity British Films, Ltd. as its distributor in Great Britain and gave the running length as 4,120 feet. According to the review, "this Western has been so badly mutilated in the cutting that it is only with difficulty that the plot can be followed, while added to this there are players of little standing or ability, and dialogue that is more often than not out of sync." The review also notes that "so clumsily edited is the picture that it is impossible to know which [actor] plays the part of the villain." Modern sources credit Victor Adamson as producer and L. V. Jefferson as story writer. One modern source credits Victor Adamson, not Horace Carpenter, as director. In addition, modern sources list Security Pictures as distributor and give the release year as 1934.
