'G' Men
The King of Action joins the crime smashers!
Directed by William Keighley
Produced by First National Pictures
A 1930s crime thriller about a lawyer-turned-federal-agent pursuing vengeance and justice, driven by action and moral conviction rather than introspection.
James “Brick” Davis, a struggling attorney, owes his education to a mobster, but always has refused to get involved with the underworld. When a friend of his is gunned down by a notorious criminal, Brick decides to abandon the exercise of the law and join the Department of Justice to capture the murderer.
