Lesley Selander directed this film in which Hoppy (William Boyd) and his sidekicks California Carlson (Andy Clyde) and John Nelson (Brad King) decide to help out a lumber camp that is known for strange accidents.
The camp is run by Jim Kerrigan (J. Farrell MacDonald) and he believes these accidents are intentional and an effort to put him out of business. The leader of the workers is Baptiste Deschamp (Victor Jory).
Hoppy and the boys decide to become workers at the camp and investigate. Preston Yates (Edward Keane) is out to destroy Kerrigan and hires an evil henchman named Bill Slade (Tom Tyler) to make sure this gets done quickly.
It's odd to see Hopalong not dressed in his usual western gear, but the story does move along nicely with an interesting climax. A lot of fans didn't seem to like this change pf pace movie, but to each his own.
If you're a Hoppy fan, this should entertain just fine. The rest of the cast includes Eleanor Stewart, Anna Q. Nilsson and Mickey Eissa.
