Soak the Old (1940)
6/10
Everything Is A Racket
21 November 2020
Ralph Morgan is a man with an idea for a pension plan. He can't get anywhere with it, until con artist Robert Middlemass and his gang start helping him out. He collects the donations and they pocket the money. How can we be certain they won't get away with it? Because CRIME DOES NOT PAY.

The long-running MGM crime series tackled some real issues in its time, and this is one of them. It's an accepted truism that the elderly are suckers for any good-sounding con artist, and while I'd like to think that I'm not, there's no denying that every day the world becomes a bt more complex, and I'm falling behind a touch.

Keep an eye out for Hugh Beaumont in his second movie appearance.
