Harley: Jim. I'm going to engage a new man.
Jim Bonn: Go ahead. Why bother me?
Harley: It's Steve Nichols.
Jim Bonn: [astonished] Steve Nichols?
Harley: Don't you remember? He did time for a phony stock deal.
Jim Bonn: Why do we want him around here?
Harley: Don't you see? When we have to take it on the lam, this Nichols, with his past record...
Jim Bonn: ...is a cinch to hold the bag, eh?
Harley: Jim, I congratulate you. You're not as stupid as I thought you were.
[Jim smiles, then looks offended]
It's directed by Otto Brower briskly, to the point of brusqueness, but Stevens and Miss Lee are quite charming in their scenes, as is Russell Gleason, searching for Stevens for ruining his father and driving him to suicide, searching for revenge. Clara Kimball Young shows up to acquit herself well as a widow whom Stevens unwittingly swindles, and while it's not a great movie, its short length keeps it watchable throughout.
