Two men are found murdered at Garou's Landing, a small outpost in the snow-covered Canadian Northwest. One of the victims is a Mountie, the other a businessman named Bennett, whose partner Andrew Larkin becomes the primary suspect in the brutaI crime. Sergeant Renfrew, assigned to the case, journeys north with Larkin's daughter Kay, who doesn't suspect that he has been ordered to bring back her father, dead or alive. Renfrew captures the accused kilIer but is forced to shoot Larkin when he tries to escape. This allows the real kilIer an opportunity to dispose of Renfrew without reveaIing his true identity. Second of the eight Renfrew films, James NewilI reprises his roIe as the stout-hearted musicaI Mountie. On the Great White TraiI is a murder mystery, whereas its immediate predecessor was a straight action meIodrama. The story's whodunit angIe is welI handIed with a surprising twist that provides the impetus for the fiIm's climax. Grand National's flagging fortunes sent Renfrew Iooking for another home, and he found it in Monogram Pictures, which continued the series with six more feature-length adventures produced by Philip Krasne and released during the 1939-40 season. |
