Geronimo1967
B-movie regular Charles Trowbridge is the District Attorney "Wayne" who is constantly playing a cat and mouse game with savvy crook "Big Bill" (Morgan Wallace). Thanks to the latter man's army of lawyers and henchmen, "Wayne" usually comes off empty-handed until he alights on a cunning plan to use his deputy "Carter" (Robert Kent) who is engaged to his daughter "Patricia" (Anna Nagel) to set up the mother of all sting operations that might just expose their quarry to charges even he can't argue away. The production and the acting are both a bit basic and there's way too much dialogue as the scenarios stray into the faintly ridiculous, but the last ten minutes are quite enjoyably strung together using an old grenade and loads of brass neck. Standard fayre you'll never remember, but it passes an hour ok.
