This film from Warner Brothers B picture unit has Dennis Morgan as a criminal on
the run from a date with the hangman and the Mountie that is looking to get his
man. But it's the Mountie who gets himself lost and sick with exposure to the
cold. When the fleeing felon takes him in and they talk the Mountie realizes
this guy may just be innocent.
But when Morgan the felon shaves off his beard the dying Mountie realizes these guys could be twins. So he assumes the Mountie's identity and starts his own investigation. He's after Victor Jory who he feels framed him.
What's a bit hard is when Elizabeth Ingles as the Mountie's sister seems to accept him as her brother. I can't believe she wouldn't know her own brother no matter how much they look alike. Worse is that Jory is courting her, the fiend.
Good comic relief is provided by George Tobias who played many an ethnic role at Warner Brothers at the time and did a few as a French Canadian.
But you got to believe Ingles would know her own brother.
