The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Alternative title: IT'S NEVER TOO LATE TO MEND. SYNOPSIS: Daredevil detective, Dick Manning, nabs a gang of warehouse bandits led by a blackmailing jewel thief.COMMENT: Borrowing a plot strand from "The Three Musketeers", this story serves mainly as an excuse for a series of acrobatic escapades by Richard Talmadge. One must admit that the daredevil, Talmadge, is not only in great form, but comes across as a moderately appealing personality. And it's also good to record that despite some histrionic shortcomings, Miss White makes an agreeable heroine. The rest of the players are serviceable enough. And it's certainly interesting to see that perennial solid western heavy, George Chesebro, in a suit (and doing a couple of double takes at that). Mr. Ray's direction rates a cut above his usual humdrum standard, thanks to some great location work with police cars speeding all out along actual streets and alley-ways.
