Mayoral candidate Rhodes (Gene Lockhart) comes to private investigator DL Trees (Jerome Cowan) with an unusual request. A talking crow owned by a man called Molner is being used to blackmail Rhodes which is threatening to scupper his election chances.
Trees goes in search of Molner but finds the man has been killed by gangsters collecting a debt. But where is the crow? Maybe Molner's girlfriend Mona Vance (Faye Emerson) knows something...
This is a fine B-movie crime romp with the usual fast moving action and plenty of wise cracks. A well worn recipe seen in dozens of films of course but always entertaining. Jimmy the Crow is probably the real star on show.
