"I took out after Fisk, and Blake took off after me."Duke Halliday (Robert Mitchem) is in Mexico on the trail of Fisk (Patric Knowles) who has stolen an army payroll off him. Duke in turn is being chased by Capt. Blake (William Bendix), who believes that Duke is in league with Fisk. Complicating matters is Joan Graham (Jane Greer) who is also after Fisk as he borrowed $2000 off her, and then ran off. Duke and Joan subsequently pair up on the trail. All this is watched with interest by the local police chief (Ramon Novarro), who has set the cat off to scare the mice, in his words.
A wonderfully realised script, delivered with a humourous tongue in cheek quality. Witty and creative banter makes this film zing along, as do the plot twists.
