What it’s about. Northern Patrol was the last entry in Monogram/Allied Artists' off-and-on "Northwest Mountie" series.

The film offers a dash of novelty value in having the principal baddie turn out to be a beautiful woman (Marion Carr). Scripted by actor Warren Douglas, Northern Patrol was directed by Rex Bailey, the former assistant to the series' original helmsman, Frank McDonald.
