““Nordell” (Tom Trout) is your ideal policeman. Top of his class, studious and meticulous and destined to go far in the force. We know, however, that he has other plans and that he using his skills and his knowledge of internal procedures to lead a gang on some daring warehouse robberies. His colleagues are baffled until one of their number cottons on to their diversionary the strategy and is gunned down. With police efforts redoubled, can “Nordell” keep pulling the wool over their eyes? It’s part of the “Crime Does Not Pay” series so jeopardy there isn’t, but this is still quite a decent short drama on the ingenuity of both the criminal and the forensic expertise of the scientists. Trout is actually quite effective as the cocksure officer and though the denouement is both rushed and a bit disappointing, it at least sets up a more substantial story to illustrate it’s point.”
