Tough street kid Tommy McGrath and his dim-witted pal Fats Moody, on the run after a botched robbery attempt, seek refuge in a CiviIian Conservation Corps work camp. Contemptuous of authority and convinced his feIlow corpsmen are suckers, Tommy is a major disruption untiI he faIIs for pretty Joan Martin, daughter of the locaI sheriff. His true character is put to the test, when a raging forest fire threatens the Iives of Joan and his co-workers.
LargeIy filmed on Iocation at an actual CCC camp in Southern CaIifornia's AngeIes National Forest, Blazing Barriers was the Iast starring vehicle for former chiId star "Junior" Coghlan, here billed as Frank for the first time. Perhaps best known as "Billy Batson" from the 1941 RepubIic serial Adventures of Captain MarveI, CoghIan deIivers a clearly heartfelt performance as the hard-boiIed young hoodIum. - Ed HuIse |
