Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe failure of the original copyright holder to renew the film's copyright resulted in it falling into public domain, meaning that virtually anyone could duplicate and sell a VHS/DVD copy of the film. Therefore, many of the versions of this film available on the market are either severely (and usually badly) edited and/or of extremely poor quality, having been duped from second- or third-generation (or more) copies of the film.

Featured review
It''s the kind of crime drama that spread in the forties, it is easy to confound it with many other of this kind. It iis talkative, boring, despite the short length. A newspaper man denouncing, fighting against gambling ring. Who cares? I tried to watch it closely but failed. I got asleep, I highly prefer Phil Karlson's SCANDAL SHEET or any other Horace McCoy's novels adaptation. I won't advise to any buff to watch this one at any cost. Watch it only if you have nothing else to do, because it is rare and bearable. I don't know the director and am not in a hurry to discover his filmography. That's all.
