After briefly enjoying an "A" budget as
Mae West's vis-a-vis in
Belle of the Nineties,
Johnny Mack Brown returned to the "B"-picture mills with Columbia's Against the Law. Brown plays ambulance driver Steve Wayne, whose devotion to his interne pal Bert Andrews (
George Meeker) supersedes all else in his life, including his romance with Martha Gray (
Sally Blane). When Bert gets mixed up with gangsters, Steve tries to bail him out, nearly losing his job as a result. Ultimately Bert is bumped off by the villains, leading to a pulse-pounding climax as Steve commandeers his ambulance to bring the mob to justice. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
