Comment/Synopsis

A nurse (Sally Blane) hides her brother in a hospital and pretends that he is dead to try and protect him from some gangsters. This is slightly strange mix of crime mystery, comedy and set almost completely in an isolated environment. Sally Blane is good as the nurse and friend trying to do the right things with a sense of dignity, whilst Joan Davis provides the comic interludes as a trainee nurse. The film therefore ends up as a bit of a mess.
