Producer
Nat Levine
went out on a financial limb on this production, Mixs last film. Aging cowboy superstar
Tom Mix
s $10,000-per-week salary alone exceeded many of poverty-row Mascot Pictures entire production budgets of many of its earlier films, but Levine was confident that the gamble would pay off. He was right: it paid off big. Mascot reaped $1 million from the serial, giving Levine enough clout (and money) to realize his long-held dream of purchasing his own studio. With the money he made from this film, his reputation grew to the degree he was able to convince
Herbert J. Yates
to buy the old
Mack Sennett
studios and enlist the Carr-Johnston team from Monogram to come on board. In the meantime, he took out an option on the studio and rented out studio space to other independents when he wasnt using it, thereby guaranteeing himself a steady cash flow, and eventually Mascot was merged (along with independents Liberty Pictures, Victory and Monogram Pictures) into Republic Pictures, with Levine taking a major position with Republic. The new conglomerations output would largely resemble Mascots product for much of the next decade. Levine would be bought out with $1 million in 1939 and end up, divorced, managing a movie theater after losing his fortune at the race track.
