    Not enough laughs and contrived plot
    An aspiring reporter investigates a murder involving a gangster whose girl is the daughter of his housekeeper.

    Thin plot and, although directed by Hal Roach, is disappointingly low on laughs. Joan Bennett stands out as a girl with attitude but the script falls short of the standard of some of her later, more serious, work. Watch out for Victor Mature in his first film.
