In this B-movie, you might notice that although Mickey Rooney is in the film that he's billed as 'Mickey McGuire'. This is because from the late 1920s into the mid-1930s, Rooney played Mickey McGuire in several dozen films.
The story begins with two motorcycle policemen on the job. When I guy comes barreling down the road at 70 miles per hour, they cops give chase. One of them is deliberately knocked off the road and he's killed. When his surviving partner brings in the driver and his passenger, he expects justice....but due to some perjury, he's acquitted of manslaughter. And, not surprisingly, the cop is furious--his partner and best friend was killed....and no one seems too concerned that a known gambler and racketeer is responsible but won't be punished. What's next?
This is a mildly enjoyable B-movie that is worth seeing but isn't exactly a must-see. Decent enough when it comes to acting and script, it's not bad...just not exactly inspired either.
