American second-feature director Derwin M. Abrahams spent his busiest years (1941-1948) at Columbia studios. Abrahams handled such program westerns as Secrets of the Wastelands (1941) and Return of the Durango Kid (1944). His serial credits include Hop Harrigan (1946) and Chick Carter, Detective (1946). Perhaps his biggest-budgeted Columbia endeavor was Son of the Guardsmen (1946), one of the studio's many Robin Hood/Three Musketeers derivations. Making a side trip to Monogram, Derwin P. Abrahams helmed the Charlie Chan effort Docks of New Orleans (1948).
