Virginia Selton: But why tomorrow?
William 'Bill' Fenwick, aka Richard 'Dick' Galt: Well, because tomorrow is a beautiful way of saying goodbye to yesterdays and todays.

Richard Dix plays a lawyer who represents criminals and is quite good at it. When his federal agent brother is killed by gangster J. Carrol Naish, Dix abandons his legal practice and goes undercover to bring down the criminals. But he needs to fall in love, right? Enter Naish's sister (Margaret Callahan). Routine little B crime drama. Dix is his usual square-jawed rugged self. Naish is good as always. Some solid character support from Joe Sawyer and Erik Rhodes. The love story part of the movie is probably the weakest. Seeing Dix flirt is like watching your grandfather breakdance. It's just wrong. It's an ordinary little crime flick. Nothing exceptional but something to pass an hour with.
