Mountie Tim O'Hara is sent to Indian River to investigate a fur trading racket. But he quickly finds himself in trouble when he is accused of shooting a prisoner in the back and is then put in jail by a fellow Mountie.
RCMP Tim O'Hara (Tim McCoy) is sent to the Indian River territory to put an end to the terrorism which has resulted in the trappers practically giving away their furs, by intimidation, instead of selling them to the Hudson Bay Company. Before joining the force, O'Hara was a resident of the territory and had left rather than risk a possible fatal brawl with Brad Harrison (Ward Bond), the brother of Tim's sweetheart Martha (Geneva Mitchell.) Upon his return, Tim is openly and often taunted by Brad as having joined the Mounties so that he might return without fear of facing Brad's previous accusations of stealing a fur pelt. Tim's investigation leads him to wrongfully suspect Brad of being involved with the fur-stealing gang. When a prisoner in Tim's charge is killed, Tim is jailed by his Mountie friend Bob Rutledge (Bob Allen.)

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
