Who'd believe that a film with this topic could be so sleep-inducing? An unexciting cast, weak story, snarky characters and lame direction mix together for one of the most disappointing "B" features from the usually interesting RKO. Sally Eilers, a second string B leading lady who worked throughout the 1930's is cast as a 24 (!) year old who takes her dead brothers' place in a spy ring where the mission is never really established other than bits and pieces given by possible double agents who are as cartoonish as Boris and Natasha and not as amusing or humorous.
Allan Lane is the agent she pretends to be married to in a sequence obviously ripped off from the famous "Walls of Jericho" scene from "It Happened One Night". The screenplay moves in so many different directions taking Eilers and Lane through so many preposterous situations that it is pointless to try and keep up with the amateurish storytelling. This makes the film's 68 minutes seem like an eternity.
