      Trilby sneaks out of the back of a moving ambulance, but when it arrives at the hospital, the doors are closed again. They should have remained open, as there was no way he could have shut them once he left the vehicle.

    Action-Mystery

    Boston Blackie movies are fun to watch. Even as a kid, I enjoyed them because of the action, coupled with intelligent stories and good acting. Chester Morris IS Boston Blackie, and in this one he has to track down an escaped prisoner... always leading from one situation to the next. Good stuff! An 8.
