Broncho Billy Anderson joins up with a tiny bunch of miners. Soon, he is doing well with Vedah Bertram. Brinsley Shaw, who also fancies Miss Bertram, decides to take matters into his own hands.
This movie is a remake of the previous year's THE ROMANCE ON BAR O -- more than seventy shorts came between, so it's not like he was going to the well too often. It is well acted and very nicely put together, running the gamut from pleasant, mild comedy to some real moments of worry, topped off with the usual impeccable camera work of the unit. The movie has recently been restored by the BFI and, even though there are a few moments when the print is less than perfect, it's still a good film to show to those unfamiliar with this sort of movie -- or those who know them well and love them.
