Jonathon Crow's summary:
Following up on her 1935 smash Hunterwali, which made her a star throughout India, Australian-born Fearless Nadia stars in this action-adventure yarn. Savita (Nadia) is a passionate hunter, while her brother Jayant (Jaidev) is a fledgling filmmaker. When their father Maganlal (Mohammed) gets arrested for the murder of a train stationmaster, their uncle Shyamlal -- whose secret identity is that of the dreaded Signal X -- saves their father from prison. Later, in order to further his stake in the airline business, Shyamlal causes a massive train wreck and pins the crime on Sundar (Sardar Mansoor), the son of the railway CEO. After accidentally filming Signal X bombing a rail bridge, Savita and her brother decide to kick some butt and stop the baddies. Homi Wadia, Nadia's husband, directs.
I worked on this one a long time ago, before beginning the restoration work such as I do these days. This one still has a lot of scratches, noise, grit, film tears and other artifacts. And the audio leaves a lot to be desired in places. It shouldn't interfere with enjoyment of the film.
