It's a 62 minute shortie distributed by Pathe Pictures, in this case, made by Producers Releasing Corp. Production quality.. the picture and the sound are just TERRIBLE, but I guess we're lucky to have this one still around in any condition. John Litel is Mike Lynn, a local bigshot who is kidnapped and brought to the home of a thug, played by John Miljan. The thugs want a cut of all the local commerce going on. Florence Rice is Linda Gregory, the nosy newspaper reporting who wants to bust the story wide open, but they convince her to hold off, so the workers' families won't be harmed. (Rice would only make one more film after this one... wasn't working out, I guess.) The story trudges along, exactly as expected. Jean Brooks is in here as "Iris", a supporting player. Brooks was a familiar face from the "Falcon" detective films, but the actress died quite young. According to wikipedia she was once married to erich von stroheim ! It's okay... nothing to write home about. Even HB Warner, who was so GREAT in Lost Horizon (and everything else he did) is pretty cardboard in this one. Part of a three-film set from DSSP.
