Brady stars in this routine western as a young Navajo brave who stands up to the evil whites and turncoat Apaches who are trying to drive his people off their land. Tucker plays the slimy white trader and Lockhart the dishonest Indian agent who attempt to monopolize all the waterholes in the territory. Totter plays the brave lady rancher who teams up with Brady in order to save her land, which has also been marked by the baddies for takeover. Stevens, who has a small part as an Indian, was in reality Geronimo's grandson. This remake of the remarkable silent picture (1926) that gave Richard Dix his finest screen role differs in one important respect from its precursor. The times had changed; implications of miscegenation were no longer against the code of the screen. In this one, Indian Brady appears to actually walk away with Caucasian Totter. leave a comment
