The Sky Ranger (1928)

Synopsis of The Sky Ranger

Educational Films, a curiously-named firm specializing in 2-reel comedies, branched out into features with the aviation actioner Sky Ranger. Based on the popular "Russ Farrell" magazine stories, the film stars Reed Howes as the dashing, devil-may-care flyboy hero. For the sake of heroine Marjorie Daw, Howes undertakes a flight to a tough border town, where Daw's daddy is being held captive by Chinese smugglers. An expert stuntman, Howes was not essentially an aviator, thus most of the more dangerous flying stunts were performed by doubles. Diminutive short-subject funster Bobby Dunn provides marginal comic relief. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
