Even though his father Boris (Herbert Rawlinson) is a rich & noted plastic
surgeon, Don Gregor (Clancy Malone) is just a no-good little crook who loves to
carry a gun (jailbait, as his sister Marilyn [Dolores Fuller] tends to call it
- hence the title), even though he is repeatedly arrested by the cops for
carrying a firearm, & inspector Johns (Lyle Talbot) & detective
Lawrence (Steve Reeves - yup, Mr Universe 1950 & later Hercules-actor
in his first film role) keep an eye on him.
However, Don is involved with gangster Vic Brady (Timothy Farrell), & soon the two of them rob a theater, but something goes wrong & Don shoots a
watchman (Bud Osborne) while Vic wounds a theatre employee (Mona
McKinnon) ... & that woman soon identifies both of them by their photos.
Soon they are wanted all over, especially Don, who since shooting the
watchman is branded a copkiller, & he goes to his father for help, who has
him promise to give himself up ... but before he can do so, he meets Vic again,
& Vic shoots him in cold blood ... & Vic also makes up an ingenious
plan of how to escape poice investigations for good ... he pretends to hold Don
hostage & thus forces his father to give him a new face ... & father
plays along & prepares an operation - with a gun of Vic's girlfriend
Loretta (Theodora Thurman) poitned at him at all times. But then he stumbles
over the corpse of his son in the kitchen - when he's out of Loretta's sight
for a minute - & quickly makes up a plan to have his revenge on Vic ...
Vic's operation goes fine, & when he visits doctor Gregor after two
weeks n bandages to hve his face unveiled, he is so self-ssured he doesn't even
care inspector Johns & detective Lawrence sitting in on the unveiling ...
until he has to realize he now has not his face but the face of Don Gregor -
the copkiler ...
Very cheaply made crime drama with a rather pedestrian script, that seems to
be a bit too straightforward - in fact not at all unlike the then popular
strairght-forward, no-nonsense crime-series Dragnet - for Ed Wood
to apply much of a personal (off-beat) touch. Only the original surprise ending - with
some of the typical Woodian dialogue - shows a bit of the director's typical
handwriting.
The film shares music with Mesa of Lost Women, another great Howco-cheapo
of its time.
