Warner Brothers quickie with Dick Purcell as a taxi driver, mixed up in a murder, fleeing to some strange island for sanctuary, where he quickly manages to get caught up in a gun-running racket. Along the way he gets a job working for the lovely June Travis at her mother's inn, while trying to sever ties with the crooks on the island. Victor Varconi plays Colonel Gomez, who is the military head of the island. Varconi strolls around with a sword (about a century too late for this stuff) and seems to think that a firing squad is the suitable punishment for every crime. His main goal is to try to find out who the Mr. Big is who is running the gun racket. There is a character named General Alcatraz, but no Asian named Hop Sing Sing.
Purcell is okay in the lead. I don't recall seeing Travis before, and I see she had a short career, which is too bad. Veda Ann Borg, as the wife of one of the gun-runners, wears a few slinky outfits. Olin Howland has a small but important role. John Alexander plays the only black person on the island. In one scene, Purcell calls him by a name which would be frowned upon today. Oh well, this was 1937.
