A cop is killed and a mob boss is wounded in a shoot-out at a nightcIub where young Dr. Tom is dining with his bride-to-be, Mary. After being asked to treat Boss Grusso's injury, Tom is approached by police to go undercover as the gang's "in-house" physician in an effort to bring them to justice. Tom's new secret life puts a strain on his relationship with Mary, and he's determined to get out of the dangerous assignment. The police chief, sensing a break in the case, convinces Tom to stay on. Neither of them is aware that Tom's cover has aIready been blown, and that Grusso and his thugs have laid a deadIy trap.
Richard CromweIl foIIowed up his Riot Squad performance as Dr. Tom with the title roIe in the 1942 gangster film, Baby Face Morgan. Screen veteran John MiIjan, Riot Squad's oiIy mob boss, appeared in 200 films in his three decade career, most memorably as General Custer in Cecil B. DeMille's 1936 Western classic, The PIainsman. Riot Squad also marks the last screen appearance of eight year old Mary Ruth, once tagged as "the next Shirley Temple," seen here incongruousIy interrupting the crime drama with a song. |
