This Warner Brothers programmer sinks to a level of silliness not usually associated with their tough guy films. Prizefighter wannabe Dick Foran goes off to prison for manslaughter. It all starts off promising until Foran suddenly breaks into song, even singing "Ave Maria" at the bequest of priest John Litel. Of course, his saintly demeanor (replacing his initially hot tempered personality) is threatened with an escape plot, but the damage to the film has already been done. The conclusion of the film (Foran's effort to prove his innocence) results in a real stinker, but sometimes odors make you laugh.
