    And That's Where This Movie Is

    John Holland has been assigned to take down the crime gang led by Phillips Smalley. Along the way, he and gang member Alice Day fall in love.

    It's certainly not among the best movie Richard Thorpe directed, even for ambitious Poverty Row producer Chesterfield. The lack of budget shows, Holland is bad in his line readings, and walks into every trap. Miss Day is pretty good here, as is Mischa Auer in a small role as a hit man, but the movie's 65 minutes drag on.

    Miss Day, who was the sister of the better remembered Marcelline Day, began as a Sennett bathing beauty, made only two more movies before retiring from the screen. She died in 1995 at the age of 90.
