An MGM short in their "Crime Does Not Pay" series...
13 July 2009
J. CARROLL NAISH stars as the boss of a larceny gang among the meat packers who sell stolen goods for quick money. But things turn seriously bad when the meat causes Tomaine poisoning and results in several deaths.

This one packs more of the flavor of a Warner crime melodrama than an MGM product with its quick moving story about the racketeers encouraging a young man to join their crime spree. When the cops begin their investigation, the man becomes their prime suspect after a sudden ability to afford a new roadster. He gets his comeuppance from the gang when they discover that he's being tailed.

Fast little entry in this series, it's pretty easy to watch with good performances from the cast.
