Northwest Trail

Canadian Mountie Matt O'Brien encounters Kate Owens, an arrogant American who is stranded in the wilderness en route to visit her uncle. Reluctantly, Matt escorts Kate to Canoga Valley, where he has been assigned to investigate some strange phenomena; a missing sergeant, unexplained gunfire, and a stream that has suddenly run dry. Before they reach town, Kate is robbed of the $20,000 she was carrying, and the ensuing deadly shoot-out leaves everyone in town suspect. Ignoring official orders to return home, O'Brien takes it upon himself to unravel the mystery, and uncovers a ruthless conspiracy that reaches deeper than anyone could have imagined.

Bob Steele has a very aptly named surname as he shows his usual steely reserve as an indomitable Canadian Mountie out to right wrongs. The scenery definable steals the scene giving the rather routine affair a punch. The repartee between Steele and Kate is quite good. Some decent action and a serviceable plot, though nothing too earth shattering.
