From the archive
This public domain film is a film noir involving a female undercover detective who is gathering evidence about some wealthy smugglers. It has some suspense and the obligatory fight scene. Restoration was by J. Clement. Unfortunately the original transfer was botched so it was not possible to restore the result to the original 24 frames/sec. This results in some judder and flashing during pans. The cast includes:Preston FosterIrene HerveyWalter Woolf KingFrank JenksFred KeatingRegis ToomeyClay ClementFrances RobinsonRaymond ParkerMilburn StoneDoris RankinHarry Hayden
