Synopsis by Hal Erickson
A James Oliver Curwood story was the source for this rugged Canadian Mountie melodrama. Alan Roscoe plays Sgt. Steve Drew, the "lone rider" of the Mounties, at present on the prowl for illegal wolf trappers. Before he's able to get his man, Sgt. Steve spends a lot of time in the company of two women: Helen Ainsworth (Mildred Harris), the wife of the chief suspect, and Minnetaki (Virginia Brown Faire), an Indian maiden. Eventually, the villain is rounded up, and the hero is matched with the "proper" heroine. Wolf Hunters was produced by former serial star Ben Wilson and released through Rayart, one of the precursors of Monogram Pictures.
