Silent Mexican train western.
One of the country's few surviving early films, this Mexican attempt at a rail road western has some basic ambition but is limited by the makers'skills.
The director's regular leading man Villatoro turns up as an engineer investigating robberies on the newly electrified Ferrocaril-Mexicano line in Orizaba Province and faces off with bandit de los Rios. They get to fight on a moving loco.
The new copy is presentable.
Companion piece to the team's EL PUNO DE HIERRO.
There's not much more to say about it.
