Buyer Beware (1940)
5/10
Bringing down the stolen goods racket.
3 December 2015
Warning: Spoilers
This entry in the Crime Does Not Pay series lags a bit in comparison to others that I have seen. It focuses on the sale of merchandise stolen from warehouses and sold below cost to struggling merchants. When one of the owners of a struggling drug store buys a truckload of stolen goods, he keeps it from his partners. But the secret comes out quickly, with the conscience stricken co-owner only going along because he doesn't want to disappoint his now happy family. But when tainted medicine gets into their hands, he decides to do something about it. Decent but slow, this has a few shocking moments but sags a bit in the middle.
