A shady fellow is killed, but Police Lieutenant Paul Bryar is on the case in his slow way. He goes to see showgirl Vici Raaf, and the trail leads to a counterfeiting scheme....and death!
It's a cheap second feature, with poor line readings, badly mismatched shots and a voice-over that tells you what's going on if you watch this while puttering around the house in the midst of this poorly put together one-hour feature, you may be astonished at the competence of the camerawork. It's Henry Cronjager Jr. -- credited as "Henry Cronjager"; his father hadn't had a screen credit since 1933 --who spent most of his career working in television.
Bryar gives a performance that reminds me of Broderick Crawford in this period, although without the energy. He had made the first of his almost 400 movie and TV performances in the late 1930s. He continued working, mostly uncredited on the big screen, until shortly before his death in 1985 at age 75.
