Featured review
The Plot.
Returning a lost wallet gains unemployed veteran Chuck Scott a job as chauffeur to Eddie Roman, a seeming gangster whose enemies have a way of meeting violent ends.
The job proves nerve-wracking, and soon Chuck finds himself pledged to help Eddie's lovely, fearful, prisoner-wife Lorna to escape.
The result leaves Chuck caught like a rat in a trap, vainly seeking a way out through dark streets.
But the real chase begins when the strange plot virtually starts all over again.
This seems to be a very intriguing film however my experience was marred by a really bad print that rendered the sound all garbled in spots.
Even so, i got into the plot.
Not sure why Peter Lorre is billed down the pike when he's pretty important to the film.
In all, it's a pretty good semi-film noir.
