Okay exploitation film who's time has come and gone is still amusing in the right frame of mind, 21 July 2006

Author: dbborroughs from Glen Cove, New York

1930's exploitation film about the evils of a prostitution ring. The plot concerns how the failed attempt at kidnapping a girl off the street for a prostitution ring ends up leading to the rings down fall. Made on the cheap with a little bit of talent this would be a complete over done pot boiler were it not for some okay performances, some touches that only an exploitation film of this film dared do (women in their frillies and some smart ass dialog) not to mention the passage of time that has twisted some moments into unintentional howlers. Don't get me wrong this movie is trash but its a sincere trash that is mildly entertaining. Not one to look for but if you catch it you might want to watch it for the giggle factor of a once "sincere" warning,
