This DVD edition has been mastered from a poor 8mm reduction print that is often too dark to distinguish the film’s action. Rough going, even for patient viewers. The film’s running time is only 49 minutes, despite the disc’s packaging stating 58 minutes.

The film is accompanied by a music score compiled from preexisting recordings.

This print should never have made it onto home video.
