Jaws of Justice

Judy Dean's father is brutally murdered as he rides to the Government Claims Office to register a lost gold mine he has rediscovered. Her faithful German shepherd, Kazan, is the only witness. Sergeant Kinkaid's investigation leads to Boone Jackson, Judy's fiance. But lacking solid evidence, Kinkaid will need help from Kazan if he is to put the killer behind bars and prevent him from marrying his victim's daughter.

A Rin Tin Tin rival, Kazan the wonder dog gets top billing in this Principal Pictures Corporation production. Silent star Jack Perrin, here billed as Richard Terry, kept busy in the 30's in B-westerns and continued making films up until 1960. The "King Of Serials," Spencer Gordon Bennet, directed scores of cliffhangers including Superman (1948), The Adventures of Sir Galahad (1949), Batman And Robin (1949) and Captain Video (1951). Most notable among his many B-westerns is The Adventures Of Red Ryder (1940) starring Don "Red" Barry.
