After an informant is assassinated, an accountant (Dennis O'Keefe) is asked by a group of civic leaders to go undercover and infiltrate the crime syndicate of a mobster (Paul Stewart) to find proof that could put the mobster behind bars. Directed by Fred F. Sears (ROCK AROUND THE CLOCK). What can one say about a movie like this? It's an efficient B programmer that accomplishes what it set out to do. We're never in doubt that the mobster will be exposed and all will end happily. Our only concern is who will get hurt along the way. Certainly not essential cinema but a diverting piece of noir-ish tinged crime drama if one is in the mood for it. With Abbe Lane, Allison Hayes, Xavier Cugat and Chris Alcaide.
