synopsis
The star of Cross Breed is Silverstreak, one of the many canine clones of Rin-Tin-Tin who glutted the 1920s movie market. Silverstreak is cast as a cowardly dog who must prove his courage by film's end. In a parralel development, chicken-hearted human hero Johnny Walker likewise must prove his grit. Producer Sam Bischoff spent the least amount possible on the film, requiring director Noel Mason Smith to make lemonade out of a lemon. Cross Breed really comes to life during an exciting lumber-camp finale.
