I recently watched this 1950 pot-boiler when I got it as a trade from another film noir collector. It's truly classic bad cinema - unknown and never going anywhere actors, hard-over-boiled dialog, minimalist acting, cheesy production values, poor film stock and a script that seems to have been put together on the fly. Nevertheless the direction and editing are not bad, on location shots of N.O. are excellent and the sleazy story is worth watching.
Essentially two NOLA cops go under cover to track down a Mafia drug kingpin who has re-entered the country to sell "junk" to the prostitutes and "hopheads" on Bourbon Street. Highlights include a cowboy boot killer, assorted lowlifes, strippers being slap around and murdered by Mr. Big, cop beatings and colorful Negros playing and singing their hearts out.
A train-wreck of a movie - highly recommended for us who love this stuff.
