This film was cobbled together from the 1936 independent film "Tundra." It was originally intended as a prestige film by Carl Laemmle's Universal regime in its last days. The idea of spending seven months in Alaska was abandoned and stock footage from "Alaskan Adventures (1926"and "SOS Iceberg (1933) were incorporated. Thirteen years later original actors Delcambre and McCormick were included in some new footage with Eve Miller and Gloria Petroff under the direction of Fred R. Feitshans, and was released under the now new title, "Arctic Fury"
