Only the name

If you're thinking that there is another Falcon brother after Tom Conway and George Sanders before watching Devil's Cargo you'd be wrong. Actor/magician John Calvert goes by the Falcon, but he's not a Lawrence brother.

He's got a line of chatter that never gives out, a cute dog, and some magic tricks.

Calvert's services are retained by Paul Marton who says he killed a known gambler for fooling around with his wife Rochelle Hudson. Then Marton is killed in custody and a third man is killed in an explosion.

An interesting murder plot is revealed, but the production values are dreadful and Calvert just ain't up to either George Sanders or Tom Conway.
