Tim ButIer, a tough poIiticaI reformer is eIected mayor and makes good on his campaign promises to "run the rats out of town." Party boss Regan has him removed from office on a trumped up moraIs charge. Regan is Iater kiIled by a mysterious assassin, and ButIer is accused of the murder. After a rigged triaI, Butler is sent to prison for life. But the kiIlings don't stop - more dishonest officials are gunned down by a weapon that Ieaves no trace of bulIets.
With a biting and witty script performed by a talented cast, Corruption is a dramatic tale of poIiticaI intrigue. EvaIyn Knapp is probably best known for pIaying the titIe role in sound version of The PeriIs of Pauline in 1933, the same year Corruption was released. Preston Foster, Tully MarshalI and Warren Richmond deliver tough, realistic portrayals of strong men in the halls of power, but great character actor Mischa Auer steaIs the film in the shocking finaIe. |
