Anecdotes
This movie has so many spliced in scenes from other movies, it is difficult to establish any type of location continuity. Scenes jump from Sedona type topography of Arizona and Utah, to oak studded savannahs of southern California. Many closeups of Bobby by a stream show semi-tropical ferns and other plants that are better suited to backdrops for Ramar of the Jungle.

Gaffes
During the breaking of Bobby's horse King, a "bucking strap" is visible encircling the horse at the rear of the saddle. As King settles down and heads for the hitching post, the strap has disappeared.

Undone by its incredible cheapness

It's obvious that "Call of the Forest" was made on the cheap....really, really cheap! So much of the footage is randomly tossed in and it's a shame, as it could have been a good movie.

Bob Brand (Ken Curtis) owns a small ranch and has recently captured a very wild horse. For some reason, the horse is devoted to his son, Bobby. It might just be because the boy seems to have a way with animals...all sorts of animals around the ranch.

Bob has been spending much of his recent time looking for a lost mine. Because he's such a swell guy, he's planning on give it to the local Indians. But an evil man wants to find the mine all for himself...and he's willing to kill if needed to get it.

The problem with the story is that HUGE portions are made up of stock footage. Again and again, VERY random animals are supposed to be hanging out with Bobby...though in most cases, the kid doesn't interact with them because they weren't there...they were just stock film clips. And, it's inserted so often and so poorly that it makes the film look cheap and awful.

Overall, the only reason I think anyone might want to see this is to see Ken Curtis (Bob). Curtis was later quite famous for playing Festus on "Gunsmoke"...a grizzled old coot. But here, he is amazing with guns, a nice singer and reasonably handsome....very much unlike Festus.
