Synopsis by Hans J. Wollstein
The veteran serial team of J.P. McGowan and Helen Holmes (The Hazards of Helen, etc.) returned to the screen in this strange Below-the-Border Western concoction about the plans of a crazed revolutionary (Jean Perry) to take over Baja California. Masquerading as a notorious bandit, "The Dragon," United States Army Captain McGowan is able to infiltrate the megalomaniac's lair and signal the cavalry. As always, McGowan directed the proceedings himself with a great sense of speed and economy if not much finesse.
