John Gamble (George Brent) ends up befriending Smythe, who has a diamond mine, but is drunk most of the time. When Snedecker (George Tobias) knocks off Smythe, he blames it on Gamble, who is now on the run, trying to clear his name. he meets up with Limey (the awesome Eric Blore !) and they return to england. it turns out, there WAS a witness to the murder, but will the witness come forward and stand up for Gamble in time? this one goes all over the map. Brenda Marshall is the love interest. It's a U.S. film from Warner Brothers, but the court scene takes place in London! it's all pretty good. we were deep in the film code, so we know how the story will go, according to formula. directed by Lewis Seiler, right in the middle of his directing career. good stuff.
