DEVIL'S BAIT is a cheapie crime drama without much in the way of plot or budget, although it works well as a little snapshot of its long-forgotten era. Geoffrey Keen, one of the most interesting character actors of the 1950s, stars as a baker who finds that a bottle of rat poison has got into one of his loaves, spawning a manhunt before it's consumed. He carries the first half of this short movie while Gordon Jackson's policeman takes over for the second. It's laughable in places and quite slow and talky, but the presence of these actors is enough to make it of interest.
