Production notes
Much of the footage in this film was reused from ''
The Land Beyond the Law'' (1927), which starred
Ken Maynard. Warner Bros. had Wayne dress in outfits that matched those worn by Maynard in the earlier film. Discrepancies occurred, however, when new footage was shot on a different location from that of the previous film.
