Crime Does Not Pay
It's another episode of MGM's Crime Does Not Pay series. The mayor is tackling illegal gambling. Mob boss Rocky Fallon has a mole in the mayor's office. He built his empire from gambling and has so much more.
Some of this is interesting. Some of it is weak. There is nothing weaker than a bad shooting victim. The girl getting acid thrown in the face is a pretty big move. It's almost modern. It's fine as one of these episodes, but it's probably trying to do too much. These shorts work best with a simplistic, straight-forward story. This feels like a story that needs to be expanded into full length.
