Peg o' the Mounted is a product of its time, functioning as a standard silent-era comedy. It relies on broad archetypes and physical humor rather than complex social themes. The narrative structure prioritizes a traditional pursuit plot over character depth. The film adheres to the social hierarchies of the 1920s, focusing on male-driven action and institutional authority. It lacks the intentionality needed to provide nuanced or characters who reflect more than one aspect of diversity, making it a typical example of early studio comedy.
