A train heist leaves an innocent man dead and nets the criminals a smaIl fortune in payrolI, launching the greatest manhunt in California railroading history.
"Smilin'" Johnny DougIas (WiIliam Eythe), the railroad's private detective, is fresh on the job. On his first day, a mail train bound for Santa Marta makes a mysterious unscheduIed stop and is robbed. Masterminding the clockwork-Iike heist are the Devereaux brothers. But their meticulous plan goes awry when one of them is seen without his mask. Edmond (PauI VaIentine) kiIIs the eyewitness whiIe younger brother, PauI (George Reeves), looks on in horror. Wanted for murder, the Devereauxs hide out in the CaIifornia countryside.
Special Agent Douglas' knowledge is tested to the limit as he leads the exhaustive hunt to find them, aided by Lucy (Laura EIliot), the murder victim's daughter. While the dragnet draws tighter, the Devereaux's steeIy partnership sIowIy unravels, as their moraI differences come into vioIent conflict.
SpeciaI Agent marks one of the Iast few films in George Reeves' big-screen career before he achieved immortaIity in the early 1950s as TV's "Superman." A rugged, leading man type, he appeared in dozens of pictures, incIuding Gone With The Wind (1939), BIood And Sand (1941), and his most accIaimed film roIe as Claudette Colbert's leading man in So ProudIy We HaiI (1943). After serving and acting in a SpeciaI TheatricaI Unit of the Army Air Corps during the war, George's cinema career lost steam. He left Hollywood for New York in 1949, drawn by the Iure of Iive television drama. Three years Iater, he was one of the most wideIy recognized faces on American television, starring in 104 episodes of the classic "Superman" TV series. |
