Jean Rivard (Tom Mix) is a heroic Canadian Mountie who rescues his childhood sweetheart Annette Dupre (Kathleen O'Connor) from the clutches of an American sheriff.[1] Action takes place primarily at a saloon called the Ace High. The bar is a popular hangout for criminals because, at a moment's notice, it can be slid across the room from the United States into Canada, or vice versa as necessary.[2]: 188, 195
Set along the Alaska-Canadian border, the film explores the arbitrariness of legality on the fringes of nation-states through the cliche of the heroic Mountie saving a girl from a villainous sheriff.[2]: 188
Ace High was the second of 17 Tom Mix feature films Lynn Reynolds directed over an eight-year period.[3] The film was the first of three Tom Mix films shot in the Big Bear area.[4]
