The Duke is up against a politician as honest as a $3 bill!
7 August 2015
Warning: Spoilers
In 1941 Republic Pictures goes out on a limb to broaden the range of its biggest commodity, John Wayne. A weak experienced lawyer, Lynn Hollister(Wayne) will attempt to take on big-city crime and corruption. Tom Cameron(Edward Ellis) is a highly successful political figure, but is suspected of being a heavy handed crook. Of course, seemingly above any overt suspicion, Hollister's job is not going to be an easy one. Making things a bit harder, Lynn finds himself with a strong attraction to Cameron's lovely daughter, Sabra(Frances Dee).

Audiences weren't immediately thrilled, but the saving grace is the Duke does get the chance to put his dukes up! A strong, well rounded cast also features: Wallace Ford, Harold Huber, Edwin Stanley and Ward Bond.
