Bernard Thomas drifts into a life of crime, because the money is good and the work isn't hard. He soon finds himself hiding out in a fleabag with a bunch of hard men because CRIME DOES NOT PAY.
This isn't one of the better entries in the long-running MGM series. The characters are mere sketches, of course. There a sense of dreary monotony about the second half; it's deliberate, but when you're making a movie, ten minutes of boredom in a 20-minute movie is an awful lot. There's also an awful lot of litter for MGM. This indicates poverty. I suppose litter does not pay either.
