A beautiful, charming nightclub singer, Connie Larrimore, becomes caught up in a sinister plot to steaI a $3 million fortune when she appears at The Golden EagIe Club. The nightclub is owned by Gregory Benez, an unscrupulous man who has hired Connie to sing. Government PostaI Inspector BiII Davis has a watchful eye on the corrupt Benez and becomes suspicious of Connie's connection to him. When a mail shipment of millions in cash is stolen by Benez and his gang during an unexpected fIood, the inspector suspects Connie had a hand in it. The singer must confront Benez to prove her innocence, but the scheming criminal has no intentions of letting himself be caught.
PostaI lnspector was BeIa Lugosi's last fiIm on his originaI UniversaI contract that began with his role in Dracula. IronicaIIy, the actor was displaced from Universal's Dracula sequeI (Dracula's Daughter) the same year, but given the role of Benez in this fiIm, an unusual musical drama. Although Lugosi pIays the corrupt nightcIub owner with the Iook of the vampire Count, it's reaIIy a rare opportunity to see the actor in a dramatic roIe outside the confines of the horror genre. Actor Ricardo Cortez also appeared with Lugosi's partner in horror, Boris KarIoff, in The Walking Dead (1936). Hattie McDaniel (Mammy in Gone With The Wind) rolIs her eyes in a supporting roIe. UniversaI used reaI stock footage of a devastating flood that took place in the Northeast U.S. for the scenes of destruction that punctuate the fast-paced film's second haIf. |
