William Boyd, who worked on oil rigs among other jobs before he got into acting, plays a wildcatter hoping to strike it rich in Mexico. Pat O'Brien plays his less dashing partner, and Mae Clarke plays the woman who comes between them. It's a fast-paced, formula adventure, a "programmer" was what they called 'em back then, with a running time of 53 minutes. Boyd's career would take a significant turn just three years later, when he made his first appearance as Hopalong Cassidy.
