Filled with stock footage from beginning to end of construction scenes
on Hoover-changed-to-Boulder Dam in Nedvada, this collection of all-star
B-feature names---most of them uncredited---stars an un-named dam
being built in California. Evans Construction Company has all it money
tied up and has to finish the dam on time in order to collect. But
crooked-banker Jefferson has other plans and sends the likes of Fred
Kohler, Wally Wales, Slim Whitaker and the Dillard brothers to sabotage
the work. The first order of business is to dynamite a mountain and cover
up John Ince so that water-boy Frankie Darro will have a crying scene and
vow ---between sobs--- to avenge his father's death. Frankie works his
way up from being Gunga Din to being the lead rider in the
mounted-police patrol organized by the owner's daughter as a force to
keep Kohler & Company at bay. Lovers of 1930s' construction sites,
unfunny-stuttering and cigarette-smoking and B-movie faces will find no
fault with "Men of Action."
