Alias Boston Blackie

Alias Boston Blackie is the third in a series of Columbia Pictures B movies starring Chester Morris as Boston Blackie. It was preceded by Confessions of Boston Blackie and followed by Boston Blackie Goes Hollywood. Once again, Blackie is suspected of committing a crime, in this instance of helping a prisoner escape.

From information provided by Jumbo Madigan Cy Kendall, Blackie figures out that the other robber was taxi driver Steve Caveroni Paul Fix. He has Eve pose as a fare to lure Caveroni to Bantons hotel room. Caveroni feels he is in control of the situation as he has a gun, so Blackie has little trouble getting him to confess he killed his partner Banton was trying to flee, leaving Caveroni to take the blame and that Joe is innocent. Farraday and his policemen eavesdrop through the door. Once he realizes he is trapped, Caveroni makes a break for it, but is shot dead.
