Amusing Gestapo
31 May 2019
Dean Jagger stars in this wartime cheapie from Monogram as a forger of some reputation. The Gestapo which has set up some American headquarters at an amusement park arranges for Jagger's escape and they even cover up his escape by putting another body on railroad tracks with his ID.

So without the authorities looking for him, Nazi agents John Carradine and Sidney Blackmer set up a print shop where Jagger can counterfeit currency of all kinds for many countries. This is part of a Gestapo diversity program, they do all kinds of dirty work from this headquarters. But Carradine and Blackmer are mostly into sabotage.

Of course Jagger realizes he's a patriotic American at some point and starts sabotaging the saboteurs. I think you know where this is heading.

It is amazing some of the wild stuff that was put into WW2 era films of that era. Especially from the poverty row studios like Monogram.

Claptrap typical of the times.
