A newsreel cinematographer, Phil, is taking shots of pretty models on the streets of New York. Unbeknownst to him, while filming the ladies, he accidentally captures some footage of a Nazi war criminal who is assumed to be dead. A short time later, the Nazi's buddies try to get this footage from the studio...and ultimately, Phil is even briefly kidnapped by some of the gang who pretend to be detectives. Fortunately, some quick thinking helps him to escape...and Phil and his boss realize they are dead men unless the gang is captured.
While the idea for this low budget film is interesting, occasionally the story has some logical lapses. For example, when Phil escapes, why doesn't he IMMEDIATLEY contact the real police? And, when the film is stolen and the police recover it, why would they give it back to Phil and tell him to drop it off at the police station?! You'd THINK they'd either take it there themselves or contact the FBI and give it to them since it's so important. You'd ALSO think that after Phil escapes and he does meet up with the police that they'd assign cops to protect him. But none of this happens and the movie ends up being about Phil taking on the Nazis AGAIN! You also wonder if after the evil Nazi Butcher is discovered on the film that they really wouldn't need the film. After all, it was taken in 1948....only three years after the war AND the wanted Nazi looks the same as he did in old footage the studio owned already....just give the old footage to the authorities! And then there's the girl...her character simply makes no sense. Overall, the movie is not really very good...when it really should have been based on the interesting story idea. It's a highly flawed film that you can find on YouTube...and after seeing it, I can understand why the filmmakers don't apparently care that it's posted there to watch for free.
