I must admit, the title made me think of some miners angrily wielding pickaxes at each other. Instead, we get a snowy melodrama about a disgraced surgeon who finds himself snowed in for the winter after the aeroplane he was piloting crashed in a storm. Luckily “Rogers” (Edmund Lowe) was rescued by “Sam” (Robert Middlemass) and taken to recuperate at his remote staging post where he is cared for by “Peg” (Lucile Fairbanks). She is also looking after “Jim” (William Henry) - a young man who is confined to a wheelchair with an inoperable brain tumour as well as being in love with her. He gets jealous when she starts to tend to their patient; the local doctor “Brady” (Ralph Morgan) finds out just who our invalid really is and then together they come up with a daring plan to try and help “Jim”. The opening scenes don’t bode very well: a combination of Airfix and confetti, but once it gets going I found it an half decent, very low budget, affair that had one or two lines in the script that popped at medical science’s reluctance to try new procedures to treat illnesses that often saw the patient being written off. It’s the kind of afternoon feature you might have seen at a drive-in and being decently paced I found it an easy enough opportunity to spend a bleak winter in a log cabin.
