Diamond trader Davis (George Cleveland) has bought a diamond that is
supposed to be cursed, but figures he can still sell it if he has it cut in
handsome little pieces, so he sends it to expert diamond cutter Peter Lanning
(Burr Caruth) who lives in sleepy San Juan somewhere in the West. Unfortunately
respectable businessman Stevens (Edward Earle) has gotten wind of this &
soon hires gangster Moreland (Robert Fiske) to get the diamond for him
(naturally, Moreland eventually gets greedy & bumps Stevens off). Moreland has a foolproof plan to get his hands on the diamond ... he sends his
men Al (Charles Prince), Chuck (Jack Ingram) & Shorty (Frank McCarroll) to
San Juan disguised as boxing promoters training young Lee (Frankie Darro), a
bit of a teenage hothead but essentially a mild-mannered guy who has no ideas
aboutihis pomoters' criminal ambitions. In San Juan they take up residence
in Dorothy Lanning's (Joan Gale) boarding house ... who's of course the
daughter of above-mentioned diamond cutter. Moreland takes up residence in this
boarding house as well, disguised as a writer, as does another writer, Jerry
Carter (Kane Richmond), who of course eventually turns out to be a gouvernment
agent. Soon, young Lee, having grown a tad suspicious about his inept boxing
promoters, hooks up with Jerry - who has written good guy all over him & it
is no wonder Dorothy falls for him -, & when Moreland & his gang
finally do steal the diamond from Lanning, it is Jerry & Lee who can
apprehend them after the customary fist fight & car chase ... Rather
lame little crime thriller with a story that is just a tad too far-fetched to
remain believable (if you are planning to steal an [unguarded] diamond in a
quiet little town, is it really the best idea to pretend to be boxing promoters
& drag a kid who has nothing to do with it into the whole mess ?), while at the
same time it manages to stay totally predictable from beginning to end.
