Bush Pilot

Austin Willis has been developing his own one-man pilot service in the far north. He's staying at the lodge run by Florence Kennedy, courting her daughter, Rochelle Hudson, and employing her son, Frank Perry as his mechanic. Just as he's finally showing a profit, his obnoxious half-brother, Jack Larue, shows up to run his own service and skim the cream off his operations. When a load of nitroglycerin shows up, Larue won't run it, but needles Perry into taking it and trying to fly it on his own. Boom!

It's mostly distinguished by the location shooting in Canada. It's a very cheap effort, but everyone does as well as they can with a script by Scott Darling and direction by Starling Campbell.

Miss Hudson was nearing the end of her Hollywood run. She had begun by doing voices for Bosko cartoons at the age of 14. A contract with RKO showed up, and they added a couple of years to her age. Although she became a WAMPAS Baby Star in 1931 and appeared in some interesting movies, she never broke out into the As. She died in 1972 at the age of 55.
