Warning: Spoilers
Tim McCoy (Tim Dale), Billie Seward (Barbara), Joseph Crehan (Robinson), Ward Bond (Bob), Kane Richmond (Jack), Frank Layton (Matthews), Guy Usher (Benton), Francis McDonald (Jackson), Alphonse Ethier (W.T. Dale).

Director: CHARLES C. COLEMAN. Screennplay: Harold Shumate. Photography: John S. Stumar. Film editor: John Rawlins. Western Electric Sound System.

Copyright 24 March 1934 by Columbia Pictures Corp. No recorded New York opening. Australian release through Greater A.F.: 7 November 1934. 6 reels.

SYNOPSIS: "Dedicated to that fighting legion without which a nation cannot exist-those unsung heoes of the storm: the telephone men!"

COMMENT: High-speed car chases, a fight on a cable car, plus the dynamiting of a swollen river, all add up to plenty of fast-moving excitement for Tim McCoy fans.

The support cast is solid too. I could list them one by one, but will content myself by listing Ward Bond, Joseph Crehan, and the most enticing Billie Seward.

Technical credits are likewise admirably professional.
