The film features one of the most dynamic acting trios in Hollywood Ann Sheri--dsn, Donald Reagan and Rich rd Whorf. The setting of the film is a little town known as Cat Tail, Florida, made up of itinerant fruit and vegetable pickers. The largest packing plant is rua by a man who, because of his posi tion, rules the town. The role is played by Gene ' Lock hart. He sets prices; he gives Jobs and takes them away; his word is law. Ann Sheridan works as a hostess in the town's only tav ern and it is there that she meets Reagon and Whorf who have come to find work. Reagan and she immediately strike it off well together, but Whorf makes it plain that he hasn't much time for women. George Tobias, who plays the role of a friendly vegetable far mer, is prevented by Lockhart from getting a good price for his product. Regan goes into partnership with Tobias and things go along smoothly until they try to sell their stuff in Cat Tail. Lock hart's attempts to stop them fail. Tobias, in celebration of his good luck, wants to shaite hands with Lockhart and forget the past bitterness. But the meeting ends in a brutal fight and Tobias is killed. The stirring climax is said to make one of the most thrilling i hits to show in Medford in many a moon. POLICE SYMPATHETIC Plymouth, Ind.
