“Headin’ South,** is a lively
melodrama with Douglas Fair
banks comedy trimmings. His
mission in the story is a seri
ous one, but he accomplishes
it with the usual display of
joyful zest in living and doing
the impossible, and the laughs
are never separated by long
stretches of dramatic intensity.
“Headin’ South” is the name
assumed by an officer of the
Canadian Mounted Police, who
trails a murderer from the Far
North down through California
and into Mexico. The fugitive
is known as “Spanish Joe? and,
once south of the Bio Grande,
he puts himself at the head of
a band of Mexican outlaws and
starts to raid on both sides of
the border.
“Headin’ South” pretends to
he an outlaw himself, and be
comes a member of the band.
The estate of a wealthy Mexi
can family is captured by the
marauders and made their
headquarters. “Spanish Joe”
is attracted by the beautiful
daughter of the house, and the
Canadian officer has to use his
wits to prevent the girl and the
