A loving mother sacrifices all for her son in this drama. She is an artist's model who finds herself financially drained by a dead-beat artist when she falls in love with a younger man, marries him and bears a son. When her beloved husband dies in the war, the old artist tries to win her back. When that doesn't work, he lures her into his studio and pulls a gun on her. During the ensuing struggle, she accidentally shoots him and ends up spending 15 years in jail. Upon her release she heads for America to keep her son from discovering the truth. In the States, she gets involved with a gambler, but then returns to England and discovers her son is being flimflammed by gamblers. She then saves him from losing it all, but the ungrateful son only has eyes for his lover and his mother slowly fades from view. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

Bob Steele has trouble sticking to The Ranger's Code in this western. As the sheriff, Steele must bring in a young man who's been consorting with crooks. Trouble is, the suspect is the brother of Steele's sweetheart. Fortunately, our hero is able to prove the boy's innocence by film's end, thereby saving his job and his love life. Ernie Adams, usually cast as a snivelling stool pigeon, delivers the best performance in Ranger's Code -- which, like most Bob Steele vehicles of this period, was directed by Bob's father, Robert N. Bradbury. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Diminutive cowboy star Bob Steele, who that same year also played a circus acrobat, a would-be boxer, and a barn-storming pilot, takes on the wintry Northwest in this low-budget action melodrama from Monogram. Attacked by persons unknown, a dying Jim Powers (Fred Burns) warns his young friend Lee Evans (Steele) that in order to locate the killer, Lee must first search for a woman named Mitzi. The youngster trails the redhead (Doris Hill) to the Canadian Northwest where she performs in a small-town dive. Impersonating an outlaw known as "Curly the Kid," the hero is readily accepted by a couple of local crooks, Lucky (Arthur Rankin) and "Flash" Ryan (George Hayes), one of whom may indeed be the mystery killer. But which one? Trailing North was penned by genre veteran Harry L. Fraser under the nom de plume of Harry O. Jones. ~ Hans J. Wollstein, All Movie Guide
