Director. AUBREY SCOTTO. Original screenplay: Edwin C. Parsons. Additional dialogue: Lee Freeman. Photography: Paul Ivano. Film editor: Russell Schoengarth. Music: Charles K. Duval.

Copyright 14 July 1937 by Monogram Pictures Corp. New York opening at the Central on a double bill with Million-Dollar Racket: 10 November 1937. U.S. release: 4 July 1937. No British or Australian theatrical release. 8 reels. 65 minutes.
SYNOPSIS: Love is on the agenda in a Civilian Conservation Camp.
NOTES: Produced with the co-operation of the U.S. Civilian Conservation Forest Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture.
COMMENT: Produced on a larger budget than usual, with surprisingly inventive direction by Aubrey Scotto (of all people!), this is quite an acceptable Monogram "B" feature. The cast is uniformly attractive, and the on-location photography most creditable.
Unfortunately, the climax of the story itself is not well-judged, though it is certainly unusual for a Monogram entry not to have a completely happy fade-out.
