Anthony Mann directed this thriller that stars Jane Randolph(cast against type) as a gun moll of gangster Duke Martin(played by John Ireland) who have staged a holdup of a back-room bookie operation that goes wrong when a policeman is killed. Detective Mickey Ferguson(played by Hugh Beaumont) investigates, which leads to the brother of his girlfriend(played by Sheila Ryan) who insists he has been framed, since the getaway car used was his stolen automobile. Can her brother be cleared before the real bandits get away? Good thriller with unusual but effective casting. Plot is nothing special, but is handled with care by its director, making it exciting and interesting.
