The Saturday matinee crowd got two cowboy stars for the price of one in this lavishly budgeted western serial starring former singing cowboy Dick Foran and Buck Jones The latter contributed deadpan humor to the proceedings making Jones perhaps the highest paid Bwestern comedy relief in history The two heroes defend the Death Valley borax miners from an outlaw gang headed by Wolf Reade An extraordinarily strong cast for a serial at least supported the stars headed by Charles Bickford as Reade Leo Carillo Lon Chaney Jr and silent screen star Monte Blue Leading lady Jeanne Kelly later changed her name to Jean Brooks and starred in the atmospheric RKO thriller The Seventh Victim 1943 Universal claimed to have spent 1 million on this serial and made sure to get their moneys worth by endlessly recycling the action footage in serials and Bwesterns for years to come
