Up north where men are men, women are women, and mounties get their man even if it takes half a dozen of them and a stout rope, silk-hatted, morning-coat-clad Sidney Smith -- one of several Sid Smiths who seemed to be silent comics -- spots Mavis Villiers. Since she's the only girl in town, he promptly gets his walking stick stuck in a bear trap. And if you think movie audiences in 1926 wouldn't have gotten that imagery, you're much mistaken. He also loses his trousers.
Smith is good with the comical acting and the gags, but director James Davis doesn't do anything absolutely out of the ordinary, and the titles by Ray Scott work hard to set up everyone with a name that will permit a mediocre pun.
