William Keighley directed this exciting film about the early days of the FBI(Federal Bureau of Investigation) where lawyer Brick Davis(played by Jimmy Cagney) is recruited to join by an old friend. After that friend is murdered, Brick becomes determined to take down the mob, even though he has old ties to it from his past. These particular gangsters are on a multi-state crime spree, so it becomes a perfect opportunity for the FBI to prove what it can do. For its re-release, it was presented as a training film for new agents during its 25th anniversary in a clever prologue. Lots of action and witty banter between Cagney and costars Robert Armstrong & Barton Maclane.
