A very good short subject film from MGM, 1 March 2001
Author: SkippyDevereaux from Parkersburg, West Virginia

One of Robert Taylor's earliest "films"--if you call a short subject, a film.

All about a guy who steals $200,000 from a bank and the aftermath that goes with it. I found it to be very entertaining and thought that it was too bad that they did not do a complete full length film on this one, as it was really well made!!

Try and catch it on a certain cable channel that shows these "one reel wonders", as it is a good one.
