    Where to Watch

Cynical yarn about a private detective (Lynne Overman) plotting to blackmail the reform candidate for mayor. Muriel Hutchison, Roscoe Karns. Mazaney: Anthony Quinn. Lilian: Inez Courtney. Twitchell: Lucien Littlefield. Ralph Murphy directed.

Overman is a private eye who learns of a smear campaign against a mayoral candidate by dating a beautiful girl (Hutchison) who is in on the dirty dealings. The detective blows the whistle and gets his reporter friend elected instead. It turns out, however, that the new mayor isn't an American citizen, and so he's disqualified. An inept, mindless picture with a plot that is beyond comprehension.
