The first twenty minutes or so of this are quite entertaining. Who knew that "Blackie" (Chester Morris) was a dab hand at magic tricks? Well he takes his cabinet to a women's prison where he asks inmate "Dinah" (Constance Dowling) to have a go. Next thing, sirens are going off and there's no trace. "Insp. Farraday" (Richard Lane) and sidekick "Matthews" (Frank Sully) drag him in for questioning and we have some playful mischief around this magical device before, well it's soon not much use for anything but bonfire fodder. Meantime, there's a standard who robbed who and wants their share revenge drama bubbling away that sees the scheming "Irene" (Trudy Marshall) playing a shrewd game to secure the loot. It's quite quickly paced and there's some fun to be had - usually at the expense of the police and some singeing of $1,000 bills - before the ending that isn't quite what you might have been expecting. This is quite an amiable outing for "Blackie" with some comedy, spatting and sleight of hand to keep in interesting.
