Featured review
Stock and trade
This MGM Crime Does Not Pay short subject concerns with breaking an alibi
that gangster Edward Norris. Al Bridge who is the chief police inspector of
an unnamed city narrates to a colleague how one of his men Charles Trowbridge
solves a few murders by showing how in a particular case a false alibi is broken.
Up till now Norris's family has shielded him from the law, but not any more. Norris's stock and trade has been the creation of false alibis to get away with his evil deeds.
Let's say some unique family circumstances allowed our perpetrator to get away with his crimes until now.
But the moral of these shorts is you can't keep getting away with it.
