Directed by: Raoul Walsh

Synopsis: Daring cat burglar Morgan (Douglas Fairbanks Jr.) falls for one of his victims (Valerie Hobson) but she is already engaged to be married. Then Morgan discovers the woman’s fiancé is his treacherous former partner (Alan Hale) who is now living the life of a seemingly respectable stockbroker.

Kitty Cameo: One morning, Mrs. Nolan (Barbara Everest), the landlady at the lodgings where Morgan is staying, emerges from her room holding a black cat which she quickly deposits on the floor.

She reaches down to pick up a newspaper and a bottle of milk placed by the wall outside the door as the curious cat comes to investigate. Mrs. Nolan’s attention is drawn to a story on the front page of the newspaper, and placing the milk on the hall table she hurries up to Morgan’s room.
