Either a TERRIBLE editing job, or a major screw-up in sound recording right from the beginning. the sound is SO far off, we can't even keep track of who is talking now. or maybe a whole new sound track was dubbed ?? it's a huge confusing mess. like the script. would probably be easier to just close your eyes and listen to the conversations. Ed Nugent is Frank Powell, who thought he was an honest, oil-well stock salesman. He not only convinced others to buy, but bought much of the stock himself. He flies down to the oil wells to see for himself, but the bigshots at the office are on to him, and don't want to be exposed as frauds. The bosses frame him, so now he's on trial for moidah! Edwin Maxwell, long-time hollywooder is in this mess, as well as Snowflake Toones, and John Wray, who is apparently NOT related to Fay Wray or any of the other John Wrays. Sound and picture quality are just miserable, so this is probably out of copyright, and has been copied too many times. It's a shortie from Republic Pictures. Directed by hungarian born John Auer... at the beginning of his career. and it shows. Showing on Moonlight Movies, a free channel on Roku... but hardly worth viewing. skip this one.
