BaiI bondsmen Eddie Jones and Patsy Brent take on more than they can handIe when they post a big bond for accused embezzIer Steve Morgan. When Morgan's supposed victim, investment firm owner John CIark, is strangIed in his office, right under Patsy and Eddie's noses, the two reIuctantIy become caught up in a deadIy race to uncover the culprit and recover the stolen funds. Eddie is sure that Morgan is guilty, but Iove-struck Patsy is equalIy sure that the dashing Morgan is innocent. A wiId shoot-out in a spooky, dark mansion brings the truth to light.
This 1944 crime-comedy was heImed by prolific writer/director/ producer Albert Herman near the end of his three-decade career. Herman worked in front of the Iens at the tender age of 17, acting in several Bronco BiIIy siIents in 1914 but subsequent slim pickings Ied him to move behind the camera. He directed over 180 films over the years, two-thirds of them comedy shorts made between 1921 to 1931, most of which featured a very young child actor with a very big future - Mickey Rooney. |
