Review by SnoopyStyle

In the High Sierras, Lobo (Rin-tin-tin) rescues his family from a forest fire and escapes with them to the desert. Dave Weston is prospecting for borax. May Barstowe likes the lonely prospector but his wealthy ranch owner father does not. Wolves are attacking and the alarm is sounded. Lobo is injured by the ranchers and Dave takes in the wolf outlaw.

I didn't know much about Rin-tin-tin other than he was one of the first Hollywood dog stars. I didn't know that he was a real dog from WWI who later got work in Hollywood. I actually would like to follow the dog than the humans. The humans are fine, but I kept waiting for Rin-tin-tin on the screen. It's a little sad that he gets domesticated. I didn't get the beard premise until the bad guy recognizes him without it. It's silly and hilarious. It's just so dumb of an idea that it works as comedy. Rin-tin-tin projects smarts and is a real character on his own. I really wish to have more of him.
