Oh, man! A mackinaw couch cushion! It's like they skinned a hoser!
I was completely prepared to shut this off in two minutes, but... it's not bad. It's a passable adventure story of Renfrew, an RCMP officer who stumbles on to a plot to kidnap an ex-forger and force him to create printing plates for ten dollar bills. Oh, it's the cheese all right, you can basically play Canada bingo: we have an aboriginal guy in a canoe, campfires, the smell of venison, a vaguely British guy offering tea, the woods, and a she-wolf howling at the moon! Renfrew happens to be the kind of Mountie that likes to break into song, with lots of tremolo. I guess that's preferable to the kind we hear about these days that just want to tase everyone in the nads. This is the first in the Sergeant Renfrew series; they made about eight in all.
