7/10
Author: whpratt1 from United States

Boston Blackie, (Chester Morris) and his sidekick George E. Stone,(The Runt) decided to travel to Florida and Blackie gets a phone call from his friend and changes his plans and travels out to Hollywood and tries to help his friend. When Blackie gets to Hollywood he finds out that his friend is being romanced by a hot blonde named Gloria Lane (Constance Worth) who claims her diamond was stolen and wants $60,000 and while Boston Blackie tries to get the money, he gets caught by Inspector Farraday (Richard Lane) and he proceeds to handcuff poor Blackie. There are scenes with people sliding down elevator shafts and lots of utter confusion.
