However three members of a crime gang (John Litel, Don Costello and Harold Huber), who years ago did a heist but never got the money, recognise him. Ordway is actually Phil Morgan and was part of the gang. They think he is keeping the money for himself and is faking the amnesia. Naturally he regains his old memory in the time honoured movie method, another bump to the head!
A highly entertaining crime drama which fits a lot of story line into a fairly short film. Maybe Ordway is a little too good to be true with his progressive prison reform methods (for the day anyway) but the villains add the right spot of grittiness, and Grace (Margaret Lindsay) adds a welcome bit of glamour. A good film and it also started what turned out to be a ten film series of the Crime Doctor.
