Whew!!!!...what is this film about? Dan Turner, Hollywood Detective, was a staple in the pulps for years and was a tough talking, kick ass kind of guy, like all detectives who graced the pages of those long ago, beloved cheapo publications. Well, somebody got the idea that William Marshall, whoever he was, would be just the guy to fill Dan's shoes on film. Boy, were they wrong. Not only was he as animated as the Venus de Milo, he can't fight his way out of a paper bag. Couple this with some of the most ridiculous dialogue since some of Ed Wood's treasured films and you have got a real stinker of a movie.
Ricardo Cortez, who must have been in almost every film ever made, is being blackmailed for something about incriminating pictures (naughty, naughty) by at least two people. So he makes the mistake of hiring Marshall to put a stop to the nonsense. Murder ensues, people fight, shoot each other, fall into swimming pools and cause general mayhem. All's well that ends well and the film ends. You may want to jump in the pool after enduring this mess but frankly,it's worth the laugh to watch it.........maybe even a couple of times. A true misfire, if there ever was one.
