by James Curtis ‧ RELEASE DATE: Feb. 21, 1937
The pot calls the kettle black all around the block in this hard-boiled story of a burglar and his moll, the fence who was a barber as well, of a little manufacturer who bogled not over planning to cheat the public and his own partners, of the youth who planned to marry the old man's daughter and butter his bread for life, but who kept a floozy on the side, of the old man's wife who had her gigolo, etc. etc. Not easy reading, for it is written in the vernacular of the underworld, and the London underworld at that.
