Not much in this film makes sense but it's still fun to watch. After serving three years of a prison stretch, former football player Dave 'Whizz' Tyler (Robert Kent) is released on parole, and is set up with a job for the guy who orchestrated his conviction in the first place, by supplying six witnesses who said they saw Tyler drive a getaway car from a bank robbery. Funny how the cops arrested the driver but none of the bank robbers!!?? Funny also how Tyler's employer (Sidney Blackmer) was the head of an investment company, but he didn't have any sort of equipment in his office with which to make financial decisions, except for the henchman (Norman Willis) he kept hanging around in case of trouble. You see, I said none of this made any sense.
Anyway, Tyler's first 'job' involved delivering a dollhouse to the sister of Gregory Warren (Blackmer), and wouldn't you know it, he falls for the attractive young lady. I have to say though, Warren had a rather creepy relationship with his sister Julie (Anne Nagel). I could never get that touchy-feely with my own sister, so maybe there's some personal bias there. That sibling relationship gets to carry through the entire picture, and after Warren and his hired goon Russell shoot each other, somehow Warren had the wherewithal to write the governor stating how Tyler was framed and he was innocent of the original crime. This taking place off screen so you wouldn't wonder how Warren could have done it if he was fatally shot.
What I did get a kick out of here were some of the nicknames attached to a couple of the characters. A polecat named Sniffy Johnson (Pat Flaherty) got his hooks into Tyler to help him with a fur vault robbery, and Julie Warren's own nickname was Freckles, although they disappeared as she grew up. I had an uncle they called Freckles, and oddly, I never got to meet him because he was a black sheep of the family. Now if all that wasn't enough to give you an idea how goofy this story was, try this on for size - Tyler's rent where he went to live was three dollars a week!! And that included the landlady (Maude Eburne) cleaning up after him!
