In an early scene when Mike uses a phone to call for an ambulance for an injured market vendor - the phone doesn't have a cord!

Jeffrey Moore: Well, keep on talking. I'm interested in what you have to say.
Michael Lynn: I've got plenty to say. You're pretty smug, Moore - making that great talk over the radio! You're for the people? I'll say you are - for what you can get out of them! Talk about the 5th Column! You've invented a new one - the 6th Column! You've fooled one of the most important items for our morale! You stand behind the flag, cheating the people! Racketeering babies! They ought to hang you for treason and they will! You might get me, Moore, but you'll never get 130 million people! 130 million people that hate you and everything you stand for!

Would Make A Good Short

Racketeers are moving into Big Town. They've organized a protection racket against the dairies, forcing them to raise the price of milk by three cents a quart. Only Assistant District Attorney John Litel, operating under the orders of H.B. Warner opposes them. Even their victims go into court to lie about why the prices are up.

Wait a minute. Wasn't this a 20-minute CRIME DOES NOT PAY short? Yes it was, THE PUBLIC PAYS(1936). Despite the excellence of the acting, this is a slowly executed feature from PRC. Despite the work of director Arthur Dreifuss, it is a drawn-out affair that goes over its plot points with such deliberation that I wish it would get on with it.... say, in a 20-minute short.
