It was produced and distributed by Warner Bros.[2] As described in a film magazine review,[3] a police dog is shipped South to a sheriff, but en route he jumps from the train and is taken in charge by a man who later sells him to another man.

The dead man’s brother sets bloodhounds on the trail of the hero, and he and his finance are tracked down.

According to Warner Bros records, the film earned $235,000 domestically and $33,000 foreign.
