4/10
Unimpressive Second Feature
13 April 2021
Ben Alexander is a rising star in Ralph Morgan's office; Morgan's daughter, Kay Linaker, seems t take a personal interest of him. However, Alexander is soon framed for embezzling $5,000, and it takes several years before the actual culprit is discovered. OMogan is contrite, and tries to make it up to Alexander, by inviting him to live in his house, but Alexander, with his new buddies from prison, is nursing a hope for revenge.

It's a mildly underwhelming effort from writer-director Ray Cannon, in which situations arise because of pretty simplistic characters, and a lurching pace. There are also a couple of scenes to pad the movie up to over an hour: one scene in which Miss Linaker and Alexander are walking around a huge garden, and another scene in a night club. There's clearly a message in this film, that peple should be more compassionate, but it is accomplished in such a mechanical fashion that there is little pleasure in this Poverty Row second feature.
