Poverty Row auteur Lew Landers’ lurid programmer makes its NOIR CITY debut!  A singularly dyspeptic Charles McGraw leads a group of steeplejacks (Alan Hale Jr., Steve Brodie, and Peter Whitney) who get thrown off kilter by the relationship between a drifter (John Ericson) and hanger-on Mary “the Babe” Thompson, played by statuesque Mari Blanchard. Murder, lust, rivalry, and overlapping double crosses spin through this campy, low-budget film like a high- speed blender! Not on Streaming, DVD, nor Blu-ray. 

Presented as a DCP.
