A fast-moving drama with some pretty violent scenes but also a real tear-jerker. Harry Carey and his adopted son are essentially alone in the world. They ride the rails as Harry Carey desperately looks for work. They barely manage to get enough to eat. Great performances by Harry Carey, Edith Roberts and a very young Frankie Darro as Carey's son. Darro's performance is one of the best you'll see from so young an actor.
This film was not filmed on a Hollywood back lot. The production company obviously spent some money on this film, and with great results.
