Director Herman Raymaker would direct June in three Warner Brothers films.  Here he gave film goers action from start to finish.  Besides Rin-Tin-Tin and June, the film featured two additional Warner favorites.  John Harron played the typical love interest/hero, a role he repeated often.  Pat Hartigan was another Warner favorite, and his role here was as the familiar stereotypical villain, a part he played well and often.  In this film, he is so low and murderous it is a wonder the town elders did not figure out he was the bad guy until the film's end!  Of course, it would have been a much shorter movie . . .

It must have been fun for June to make this film.  In it, she is attacked by a pack of bloodhounds, fights with the villain, is chased through, then lost in, a forest during a pounding rain, and if that isn't enough, is threatened by alligators in a swamp.  Rinty gets to go through all of that too ... and more! Variety enjoyed the movie, calling it "..one of the best pictures starring a police dog that has come along in a year or so."  They also noted "June Marlowe and John Harron carry the juvenile love story along nicely."
Harrison's Reports, a publication for theater owners, found the story "deeply appealing" and found that Rin-Tin-Tin had "...never appeared in a better story."  It's final comment that the film "...should please every one who will see it" makes the fact that this film is "lost" that much more frustrating.

John Harron, Pat Hartigan, and June.

If the critics loved Rinty in this one, wait 'til they got a load of his next film.  It was one of Rin-Tin-Tin's best ... and one of June's, too.
