Featured review
An enjoyable little film.
Bill Fenwick (Richard Dix) is a very famous and well-to-do lawyer. However, he's gotten some bad people off and it's bothering his conscience. So, instead of becoming a mouthpiece for the mob, he decides to do something to help others. So, he travels out west and becomes a special undercover agent for the government. Unfortunately, the leader of the mob has a sister who has fallen for 'Richard' (Bill's undercover name). What's to become of the criminals with their fake gold mine as well as 'Bill's' girl?
This is a B-movie from RKO and the studio made quite a few lower-budgeted films starring Richard Dix. While he's pretty much forgotten today, Dix was a fine actor and quite likable--even though he wasn't exactly handsome leading man material. The writing is solid as is Dix's performance. Worth your time.
