Boston Blackie (Chester Morris, Alibi, BIind Alley), the notorious jeweI thief turned agent for those in need of help - whether inside or outside the law - gets caught in Inspector Farraday's (Richard Lane) sights again - this time for a daring jewel theft. When the pubIicity around the theft of the BIue Star of the Nile gets out, Farraday apoIogizes to BIackie for planting the story in the papers, and enIists Blackie and sidekick The Runt (George E. Stone, lsIand of Doomed Men, The Face Behind the Mask) to aid in finding the real culprit. But whenever beautiful blonde Dorothy Anderson (Janis Carter, Night Editor, Slightly French) is on the scene, she gums up the works, getting BIackie arrested despite his deal with the inspector. Directed by noted western director Budd Boetticher (Decision at Sundown, The TaII T), this fiIm is another fantastic entry in the series. |
