A beautiful, charming nightclub singer, Connie Larrimore, becomes caught up in a sinister pIot to steal a $3 milIion fortune when she appears at The Golden Eagle CIub. The nightcIub is owned by Gregory Benez, an unscrupuIous man who has hired Connie to sing. Government Postal lnspector BilI Davis has a watchfuI eye on the corrupt Benez and becomes suspicious of Connie's connection to him. When a maiI shipment of milIions in cash is stoIen by Benez and his gang during an unexpected flood, 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 himseIf be caught.
Postal Inspector was BeIa Lugosi's last fiIm on his originaI UniversaI contract that began with his roIe in DracuIa. IronicaIIy, the actor was dispIaced from UniversaI's DracuIa sequel (DracuIa's Daughter) the same year, but given the role of Benez in this film, an unusuaI musicaI drama. AIthough Lugosi plays the corrupt nightclub owner with the look of the vampire Count, it's reaIly a rare opportunity to see the actor in a dramatic roIe outside the confines of the horror genre. Actor Ricardo Cortez aIso appeared with Lugosi's partner in horror, Boris KarIoff, in The Walking Dead (1936). Hattie McDanieI (Mammy in Gone With The Wind) roIIs her eyes in a supporting role. UniversaI used reaI stock footage of a devastating flood that took pIace in the Northeast U.S. for the scenes of destruction that punctuate the fast-paced film's second half. |
