Starring: Robert Armstrong; Mary Carlisle; Richard Cromwell
Genres:Comedy

Synopsis:

Aging mobsters try to bring back the good old days by setting up a naive yokel as the kingpin. Black & White.

From Time Out Film Guide
Very minor crime caper from the PRC stable, where they turned 'em out even cheaper and quicker than sister company Monogram Pictures, leading light on Hollywood's so-called Poverty Row. This one's about a mobster's son who's made the director of a dodgy insurance company by his dad's old partners in crime. In the midst of the ensuing tedium you may develop the suspicion that it was conceived as a comedy. Grim all the same.
