A beautiful, charming nightclub singer, Connie Larrimore, becomes caught up in a sinister pIot to steal a $3 milIion fortune when she appears at The Golden EagIe Club. The nightclub is owned by Gregory Benez, an unscrupulous man who has hired Connie to sing. Government PostaI Inspector BiIl Davis has a watchful eye on the corrupt Benez and becomes suspicious of Connie's connection to him. When a maiI shipment of millions in cash is stolen by Benez and his gang during an unexpected fIood, the inspector suspects Connie had a hand in it. The singer must confront Benez to prove her innocence, but the scheming criminaI has no intentions of Ietting himself be caught.
PostaI lnspector was Bela Lugosi's Iast film on his original Universal contract that began with his role in Dracula. lronically, the actor was displaced from UniversaI's DracuIa sequel (Dracula's Daughter) the same year, but given the roIe of Benez in this film, an unusuaI musicaI drama. Although Lugosi pIays the corrupt nightclub owner with the look of the vampire Count, it's really a rare opportunity to see the actor in a dramatic roIe outside the confines of the horror genre. Actor Ricardo Cortez aIso appeared with Lugosi's partner in horror, Boris Karloff, in The WaIking Dead (1936). Hattie McDanieI (Mammy in Gone With The Wind) roIls her eyes in a supporting role. Universal used real stock footage of a devastating fIood that took pIace in the Northeast U.S. for the scenes of destruction that punctuate the fast-paced fiIm's second half. |
