by Thurston Scott ‧ RELEASE DATE: Oct. 3, 1951
A story of suspense which lends a grim seriousness- along with some uncommonly taut excitement to the story of California's Pachucos and their hard hatred of a white world. For Hogaway, a brain screw at San Quentin, in his attempt to locate a parlee, finds that the boy has been killed, falls in love with his sister, and fights his way through knives and needles to save her in a melodrama which throws off a glazed violence and bitterness.
