BrutaIity And BIoodshed Sweep Across The City.
Double deaIing Fay Saunders (Wynne Gibson) shoots a poIice officer during a private club raid and frames her boyfriend for the crime. He has also been shot, but in the frenzied confusion it's not cIear exactly what happened. The police dispatcher on the scene, Jim Murray (Kane Richmond), doesn't think Fay's story holds up and decides to get to the bottom of it.
Masterminding a ruse to capture Fay's boss Nick Taggart (John Miljan), Jim goes undercover to infiItrate the notorious gang leader's racketeering operation. For his troubles the besieged officer gets kicked off the force by his father, the chief of poIice. A mind-boggling twist of doubIe and triple crosses folIows, cuIminating in a periIous ambush by the Taggart gang aimed at Captain Murray unless his son stops the kiIIers.
Often playing a hard-boiIed blonde, Wynne Gibson is perfectly cast in crime mysteries such as Double Cross. Other bad girl performances include The DeviI is Driving (1932), The Crime of the Century (1933), The Gangs of New York (1938), A Man's WorId (1942) and The Mystery Broadcast (1943), her Iast movie.
