The Devil's Pipeline

Richard Arlen and Andy Devine are a couple of oil field men sent to investigation the hint of something wrong in the company's well on a South Pacific island. They soon find out what it is, when they are thrown in prison on trumped-up charges and made to labor on the well for no pay.

This movie takes about half an hour to get going, what with the comic hijinks of Arlen & Devine. Once it does, it turns nasty quickly, but fortunately Devine has mastered the Vulcan Death Grip, which allows Arlen to have long talks with Jean Brooks. There's a bang-up battle at the end, with the details set up early in the film. It's no great shakes, but it makes an hour go by. With John Eldredge, Jay Novello, and Jerry Mandy.
