Along with his aide, Tynan "Tiny' Andrews (Andy Devine), they encounter a daughter, Judith Adams (Beverly Roberts), searching for her father, a missing scientist, brutal plantation bosses and a case or two of insanity. The cast includes Louis Merrill, Lupita Tovar, Samuel S. Hinds, Charles Trowbridge, and Noble Johnson.
    The image
    features
    a scene inside of a hut as undercover investigator Dan Burton (
    Richard Arlen
    ) talks with his aide, "Tiny" Andrews (
    Andy Devine
    ), who is making some type of concoction. It is unrestored in near-fine condition with small creases, three staple holes, and signs of wear in the top border; a 2.5 in. diagonal crease on the left border beneath the top; and another small crease on the abdomen of the shirtless man at the far right. There are no pinholes, tears, stains, writing, or other flaws and the rich color tints are fresh and vibrant without any signs of fading.
    Provenance:
    The Estate of Nancy Drexel Ince
    .
    Nancy Drexel
    (born Dorothy Kitchen, April 6, 1910 – November 19, 1989) was an American film actress of the late silent and early sound era. She was sometimes credited by her birth name in films. She appeared in 29 films, generally B-film Westerns. Drexel was the daughter of George P. Kitchen, who was described in a newspaper article as "a pioneer of the film industry." Her professional debut came when she was 8 years old, performing in The Royal Vagabond comic opera. She ventured to Hollywood after winning a Miss New York contest that had 10,000 competitors. She was featured in F.W. Murnau's sought-after lost silent film,
    4 Devils
    (1928), alongside Charles Morton, Janet Gaynor, and Barry Norton. In 1931, she appeared in one of the earliest Spanish-language sound films,
    Hollywood, City of Dreams
    , as a glamorous movie star who is the idol of the film's hero, José Bohr. Drexel is presented as one of the leading stars of Hollywood, rather than the B-movie leading lady she was in real life. On September 28, 1932, Drexel married Thomas H. Ince Jr., son of film producer Thomas H. Ince, in Beverly Hills. Both of them were students at Antioch College in Antioch, Illinois, and resumed their studies after the wedding.
