Cage of Evil

"Cage of Evil" is a B-movie from United Artists. And, like a typical B, the story lasts around an hour and the cast is filled with mostly unknowns.

Scott is a detective sergeant with ambitions of becoming a lieutenant. However, his focus completely changes when he's working an undercover case involving some stolen diamonds. He is supposed to woo the prime suspect's girlfriend...in the hopes that he can get her to divulge where the diamonds and her boyfriend are. However, the ruse goes over too well, as she soon falls for him and they both decide to kill the boyfriend, keep the diamonds and end up spending the rest of their lives on a tropical beach somewhere. Unfortunately for them, their plans don't go exactly as they hoped.

Despite no-name actors and a quick shooting pace, the film is very well told and exciting. My only small gripe is the narration. First, it isn't necessary. Second, it really wasn't written all that well and often didn't add anything to the story. Still, this IS a minor quibble in an otherwise enjoyable movie.
