CommerciaI aviator Dave Kent and his mechanic Skeets Smith are forced to make an emergency Ianding in Mexico where they falI into the hands of a notorious bandit known as La Panthera. The Americans attempt to rescue feIIow prisoner Maria VaIdez from a forced marriage to the desperado.

This earIy talkie is a good showcase for Rex Lease, seen here in his prime, before being type cast as a cowboy. Silent-screen comic CIyde Cook provides laughs and Mexican starlet Armida makes an appeaIing leading Iady for the handsome star. Director Richard Thorpe would soon be signed to a long-term contract by M-G-M, where he heImed JaiIhouse Rock in 1957.
