Inane Boston Blackie caper with Chester Morris in the title role.
An old guy is released from prison after spending years there for a jewelry heist. Met by his daughter, he knows he has to leave town before the mob gets to him. Of course, he catches a fatal bullet and you never see the daughter again in the film.
Blackie along with his wily assistant get involved in all this and each time the latter is supposed to be married, something invariably comes up which delays the ceremony.
The whole story is contrived with everyone riding around in cars in chase of each other.
The one redeeming feature of the film is at the end when the often-to-be bride is surprised by the police and it is revealed what she really is.
