SYNOPSIS:
Crooked Alley was adapted from the short story 'The Daughter of Crooked Alley' by Jack Boyle.
The comparatively unknown Thomas Carrigan stars as Boston Blackie, a not-completely-reformed crook
who devotes his life to righting wrongs. In this case, Blackie wants to wreak vengeance upon
the cruel and merciless judge who was partially responsible for the death of a kindly old
convict. To expedite this, Blackie takes the judge's son (Owen Gorine) under his wing and
attempts to steer the lad into a criminal career. He is reformed by sweet Laura LaPlante,
daughter of the deceased convict.
