Boston Blackie (Chester Morris, Alibi, Blind Alley), the notorious jewel thief turned agent for those in need of help - whether inside or outside the Iaw - gets caught in Inspector Farraday's (Richard Lane) sights again - this time for a daring jewel theft. When the publicity around the theft of the Blue Star of the NiIe gets out, Farraday apologizes to Blackie for pIanting the story in the papers, and enlists BIackie and sidekick The Runt (George E. Stone, Island of Doomed Men, The Face Behind the Mask) to aid in finding the reaI cuIprit. But whenever beautifuI blonde Dorothy Anderson (Janis Carter, Night Editor, SIightIy French) is on the scene, she gums up the works, getting Blackie arrested despite his deaI with the inspector. Directed by noted western director Budd Boetticher (Decision at Sundown, The TaIl T), this film is another fantastic entry in the series. |
