Eddie Nugent stars in this film as a businessman who is working for an oil company that his uncle John Hamilton owns with two other partners. When it proves to be a swindle Nugent quits and decides to investigate for himself. Hamilton kills himself rather face the disgrace.
But his two clever partners fake a murder frame for Nugent to get the partner's insurance they had on Hamilton so that their soon to be creditors are paid off.
Nugent spends most of this film in a jackpot as an escaped prisoner who broke custody and is on the lam from the electric chair. How he escaped and what he and his brother, missionary Lloyd Hughes do to clear him are the whole story.
And it's a ridiculous one with both of them getting themselves involved with a pair of rival gangsters.
I will say this though, the ending was a good one insofar as finding the evidence that clears Nugent. Too bad the rest of the film wasn't as good.
The plan works perfectly and Frank is arrested, tried and convicted of murder. He is now being sent to prison to await execution. But on the way, the train is attacked and the mobsters are there to free one of the prisoners...a guy handcuffed to Frank! Frank is taken with them and he now decides to devote himself to looking to prove his innocence.
The film actually surprised me, as Frank soon gathers some friends who want to prove he's innocent. The friends? The mobsters! And, they do a bang-up job of investigating...as well as providing some nice comic relief.
This is a very good B movie. Sure, it's not exactly probable...but the journey is so much fun that it's easy to suspend disbelief and just go along with the plot. Much more deftly handled and better written than most B-movies...it actually holds up well and is quite entertaining.
