Straight forward but decent crime capers.
A gang is illegally importing gold from Mexico into the US and is willing to kill any Federal agents which get in the way. Alan (Conrad Nagel) is sent down to Mexico to find the location of the gang so the authorities can move in. His reporter girlfriend Bobbie (Eleanor Hunt) is left behind... for now.
The smuggled gold is traced to a mine, at a cantina nearby pilot Steve (Frank Milan) is able to buy his drinks with gold nuggets but Alan realises on a woman can get into Steve's confidence so he calls Bobbie down to sing in the cantina! Soon both of them are in deadly danger...
An enjoyable film, part of a short series featuring the characters Alan and Bobbie. Although the film is short it does drag at times as there is a bit of padding to the basic story. The plot won't tax you but the film is a fine watch, with some humour too especially from the cantina owner Fuzzy Knight.
