This adventure, set upon the mighty Mississippi, features two former Tarzans. One of them is a river-boat captain who was shell shocked in the war. The other is an evil trapper. The trouble is caused by their shared affection for a pretty young woman. Their rivalry climaxes as the two wrestle it out in an alligator hole. This was the only film in which one of the Tarzans (Johnny Weismuller) did not play a man from the jungle. (allmovie.com)

A very rare role where Johnny Weissmuller wasn't Tarzan or Jungle Jim. Here he plays a man returning from service back home to the swamps. i didn't like him in this role. He still talked like Tarzan even if he was in a decorated uniform. Buster Crabbe was a lot better as his rival. I guess that made Swamp Fire (1946) a little more interesting, but this wasn't exactly high class movie, even if some of the swamp atmosphere was decent.

Really nice cinematography, and Weissmuller and Crabbe have a fun chemistry that's hilariously meta-textual. Between this and Law of Vengeance, I'm starting to think Buster Crabbe was a pretty solid actor when he wasn't in a loin cloth or holding a ray gun.
