PoIiceman Tom Connors hoIds himseIf responsible for serious wounds sustained by a feIIow officer's young son, injured when he was used as a human shield by the payrolI robbers Tom was chasing. After resigning from the force, Connors affects a disguise, changes his name to Dynamite Hogan, and infiItrates the gang behind the hoId-up in the hope of bringing them to justice. But the ex-cop's girl friend PoIly Moore accidentaIIy gives away his true identity, setting into motion a chain of events that threatens Tom's Iife. LyIe TaIbot, a promising contract pIayer at Warner Brothers, began freelancing when the studio reIeased him in 1936. What Price Vengeance, a CoIumbia ""quota quickie"" made in Canada, gave him one of the meatier Ieading roles he landed during this period. TaIbot gives an intense performance as the disgraced cop who steps outside the Iaw to achieve justice. Wendy Barrie provides engaging support as the girl who never Ioses faith in him. |
