David Sheridan (Walter Miller), a forest ranger who teams up with Shirley Kane (Allene Ray), an adventuress to go up against a gang of bandits. The gang is controlled by the mysterious Charles Redfield, whom none of the bandits have ever actually seen.

A number of airmail robberies has taken place, and J.B. Swinnerton (Frank Austin), an airmail pilot is being blamed. Forest ranger Sheridan is out to prove who is really behind the series of spectacular armed robberies.

When all the protagonists are cut off from the outside world by a blizzard, the immense forces of nature force everyone to find a way to survive.

Reception

Aviation film historian Michael Paris in From the Wright Brothers to Top Gun: Aviation, Nationalism, and Popular Cinema compared Snowed In to other films that dealt with the airmail pilots who operated in Western United States.[2] He listed The Air Mail (1925) and Flying High (1926),The Flying Mail (1926), Wolves of the Air (1927), and Pirates of the Sky (1927) that were also examples of the sub-genre of the "modern western adventure" that often had heroes mounted on aircraft, not horses.[3][N 1]

Preservation status

Snowed In is now considered to be a lost film.[4]
