Northwest Trail stars western legend Bob Steele as a non-singing Candian Mountie who gets involved in some mysterious doings around a lumber camp in the Canadian Northwest. He encounters super hot Joan Woodbury, who plays a spoiled rich girl with what looks like a 1939 Cadilac with engine trouble. Now, in real life, after assisting the smoking Ms Woodbury, they probably would have wandered over to a trappers cabin and spent some time steaming up the windows, but this is , after all, Hollywood and this is super straight arrow Bob Steele, so there are more pressing issues at hand.
This movie plays a lot like a postwar Roy Rodgers movie, that is , a simple good guys vs bad guys flick with some strange mysteries thrown in. Nioe scenery (the pine forests of the Norhtwest and MS Woodbury) and a couple of familar faces("Great Ceasar's Ghost, is that John Hamilton?") make for an enjoyable hour escape.

Filmed in an earlt color process, this "western" takes place in the Canadian west in the late 1940's. The film's three-quarters of the way done before you find out what's going on and by then you've probably lost interest. Not one of Bob Steele's best! (And that is Charles Middelton, ever famous for playing Ming in the Flash Gordon serials, playing a French Canadian with a terrible accent.)
