Description

When a thief learns he has a son (Frank Coghlan, Jr.), roughly ten years old, he pulls one last heist so he can place the boy in a military academy and there takes a position himself as its stable-hand. The man never reveals his true identity to his child, fearing the boy would be disappointed if he knew dad struggled with booze and had committed a number of crimes, yet the two gradually form a bond of respect and love. Only trouble is, our hero's past eventually catches up with him, two of his old mates tracking him down to blackmail him into one more "job." A thoroughly entertaining film with Coghlan giving a typically good performance; Philippe De Lacy stars as Coghlan's rival-turned-pal. Recommended!
