An efficiently paced gangster movie from Monogram about the rise and fall of John Dillinger, from nickel-and-dime holdups to big-time bank robberies and finally an ill-fated trip to the movies. Lawrence Tierney, who plays Dillinger, would turn up almost 50 years later as the old gang leader in Quentin Tarantino's "Reservoir Dogs".
