Meanwhile, the triangle of the brothers and the school teacher is getting out of hand. Ben shoots Steve, but claims it was an accident. The last straw happens in a showdown when Ben kicks down little Davey, establishing himself as evil beyond words. Hills of Kentucky feels like an exciting serial. We are taken from chase to cliffhanger many times throughout the plot.
Every serial needs a villain, a hero and a beautiful woman.
This one provides it all, plus a dog star of the caliber of Rin Tin Tin. Rin Tin Tin is a handsome creature with an electricity. He can run like the wind and is as graceful as Douglas Fairbanks, Sr. ., in his athletic moments. In Hills of Kentucky , Rinty's ability to express wild tendencies directly contrast his moments of loving affection towards a human that he naturally feels alienated from. For a dog, he really has an expressive face.
