Rats... in evening dress! Aircraft plant destroyed! A battleship blasted!"; about a factory worker who is falsely accused of sabotaging his factory and causing the death of a co-worker, but actually, he is just being set up by a group of spies; the man flees, trying to clear himself, while he is pursued by both the spies and police; he ends up thrown together with pretty Priscilla Lane, who at first thinks he is guilty, but comes to believe in his innocence) starring Priscilla Lane, Robert Cummings (Bob Cummings), Norman Lloyd (in the title role), Otto Kruger, Alan Baxter, Alma Kruger, Dorothy Peterson, Clem Bevans, Jean Trent, Will Wright, Tony Randall (uncredited and in his first role), Billy Curtis, Mary Curtis (Billy and Mary were little people, as well as husband and wife, in a circus sequence in this movie).

Also, the real saboteurs were intended to be Nazis in the script but the movie never mentions this. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: good. Someone defaced the poster in the area of Cummings' mouth and cheek. Some amateur restorer took a piece of white paper and glued it to the back of the poster, and then touched up the damaged area. Other than this defect, the poster has separation at the foldlines and pinholes in the corners and some tiny tears in the top of the vertical foldline. If I owned this poster, I would immediately have it linenbacked by a top professional. After linenbacking, the poster would look great, and the only place there would be any real paint on the poster would be in the one damaged area described above! Learn More about condition grades
