Green, Robert Libott and Frank Burt"; the old plot of an innocent man wrongly sent to prison for embezzling half a million dollars, and he escapes and sets out to find the actual thief, and his wife even tries to seduce the thief!) starring Warner Baxter (in his final movie role), Onslow Stevens, Karin Booth, Robert Shayne, and Richard Benedict

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that some unknown poster artist spent some extra effort laying out this poster, with cool "levels", with the title on the sides of the levels, and it makes for a striking poster!

Condition: poor. There are tears and some small areas of paper loss across the title area at center that have been crudely repaired with paper and tape from the back and paint on the front.
