Police dont sleep until ruthless killer Morris is apprehended. Gritty, exciting low-budget crime melodrama from Roland West, who was one of very few independent producer/directors in Hollywood during the late 1920s and early 1930s. The film was nominated for Best Picture (losing to BROADWAY MELODY), and Chester Morris was nominated for Best Actor (losing to Warner Baxter in IN OLD ARIZONA). (official distributor synopsis)
