Richard Lane is confronted with a city ordinance to beef up his docks. Instead, he bribes inspector Frank Orth to avoid the expense. The result is rats, rats, and bubonic plague, because Crime Does Not Pay!
Moroni Olsen plays the doctor in charge of quelling the plague; often in this long-running MGM series, he played the head of the criminal gang. I'm sure he appreciated the change of pace. He had entered movies in 1934, and quickly established himself as a capable character actor, able to play Porthos or the Pope in more than a hundred movies over the following twenty years. He died in 1954 at age 65.
