- Crazy credits[Opening Card]This picture exposes a crime situation as unbelievable as it is grim. These crimes are more widespread than the public realizes, and I am happy to endorse this film with the hope that it will help destroy a vicious racket.

Featured review
won an Oscar
MGM has another A Crime Does Not Pay Subject. The crime in this one is insurance fraud. An insurance investigator starts to have suspicions. He tells the authorities and they investigate the insurance fraud ring.
I can't believe that this won an Oscar. The plot leaves a few too many questions to be that good. It starts with the questionable title. I question the need for the injuries. I question the manpower of the police. It's not even the best of this series. It's average at best. It needs a better way to tackle this subject matter.
