Featured review
Crime Does Not Pay Series
It's the MGM presents Crime Does Not Pay Series. It's the second short in the series. The Chief Inspector of Police recounts the murder case of racketeer Mike Lichter. Joe Rinelli is the next in command and the obvious prime suspect, but he has an airtight alibi. The cops work to break it.
This is the standard Crime Does Not Pay Series episode. It does have a fun little murder mystery with an ending reveal buried within it. It's not the most compelling, but it's zippy. Not all of these are that fun. At least, they're not bringing out the rubber hose. That would be something and not this series.
