Frank Sheridan is a beat cop with two sons. One is Dick Purcell, also a beat cop. The other is Charles Quigley who works for a gangster, whose front is a trucking company. When he blows a racetrack bet for his boss, he panics and gets into a fight with one of his fellow crooks, and shoots him. Purcell brings him in. Although no one who knows him thinks he did it, he's convicted of murder.
It's a fairly good cheap Monogram programmer, with a nice twist and some proto-noir lighting by Harry Neumann. The director is William Watson, a short comedy specialist. He started directing in 1920 for Henry 'Pathe' Lehrman, and by the time he made his last short in 1944, he had directed almost 280 of them. Along the way he helmed four features. This is the third.
Watson is one of those unremembered names in film, but anyone in charge of vehicles for Lloyd Hamilton AND Danny Kaye is worth remembering. He died at the age of 71 in 1967.
