Storyline

Tommy McCoy and "Dude" Markey are both in love with Harlem singer/dancer Nita. Markey robs a jewelry store and turns the loot over to gang-boss Murray Howard. Later, Markey robs the safe, steals the jewelry, and, in order to get rid of his rival for Nita, frames the robbery on McCoy. The latter's big-brother thinks otherwise and, with Nita's help, sets out to prove it.

RTMotion Picture DailyJan 26, 2021

Directed by Arthur Dreifuss from a screenplay by Arthur Hoerl, the picture is professional in every respect, more so than many a mine-run melodrama turned out by more widely known Hollywood studios.

Here is gangster story... offering quite a little entertainment.

This metropolitan melodrama of life, love, crime and music is enacted realistically.

Hawley gives an outstanding performance as the hero of the story... F. E. Miller, nationally known comedian, gives one of the film's beat performances as "Slim", Hawley's side-kick.
