Milton Frome

Sandy Doyle, gambler and political chief of a small border town, seeks to gain control of the Bar-X Ranch to further some undercover activities of his own.

A rookie policeman takes a half-wild German Shepherd who evaded capture for a year and trains him to become a top police dog who helps capture a gang of arsons.

Loosely based on the life of police officer and private eye Barney Ruditsky who fought organized crime in New York City during the roaring twenties.
