Plot

Tommy works for an unethical finance company that charges borrowers extremely high interest that makes it hard to pay back. Consequently the company winds up repossessing radios, furniture, cars and anything else they can from the people who can not afford to pay them back. Tommy decides that what they are doing is wrong and decides to collect evidence from the finance company and bring it to the D.A's office and turn them in.

Production

Prior to filming, the Production Code Administration declined the original script by stating that it could not be approved because of the "objectionable element which the script contains is the inference, as at presently written, that all finance and installment companies operate in a rather illegal manner as to the details of transacting their business, and in a brutal manner as to the details in making their collections."[1]
