Blood Money

Bill Bailey is in the bail bond business. He is affable and he is ambitious. He has connections in politics as well. His work brings him every kind of offender. He sees first time defendants and he sees career criminals. In Los Angeles his word carries both underground and above it. Then he falls for a woman. She comes from money and she is after a thrill. Her own attention is on a bank robber. Bailey’s standing starts to weaken from that point. Violence, betrayal and reckoning follow one another. The film was made before the Hays rules tightened. It was counted lost for nearly forty years before turning up again. George Bancroft and Judith Anderson appear in the sixty five minute film, an American production Rowland Brown finished in 1933.
