    The annoying private detective is framed for murder

    While helping a friend out by looking after a baby, Boston Blackie (Chester Morris) is framed for murder.

    The penultimate programme thriller featuring fast talking and wise cracking Boston Blackie. The character of Blackie is as annoying as ever and will most likely leave its viewers feeling irritable, certainly for those who survived the course of the film.
