Review

The seventh ‘Whistler’ movie and Richard Dix’s last screen performance has him as an independent trucker. He’s just cleared all debts and is about to start making money and to marry Karen Morley when he gets involved in an accident. It’s not his fault, but his witness vanishes. He winds up paying compensation and having his license suspended.

He continues taking jobs, but when a driver fails to show up, he drives the truck himself; a mysterious stranger saps him and kills motorcycle cop Regis Toomey. Dix panics and runs, but realizes that he has to prove his innocence, with no clue but a glove.

It’s also the last film directed by William Clemens, a decent journeyman, He had entered the movies as an editor, switched to directing in 1936 and made 33 features in a dozen years. He would die in 1980 at the age of 74.
