Australian release: 28 August 1941. 5,525 feet. 7 reels. 61 minutes.SYNOPSIS: Arlen and his pal Devine are ace cameramen for Mercury Newsreel. One night they intercept foreign saboteurs.COMMENT: Despite its familiar subject and a plot that rambles all over the place, this Arlen and Devine entry maintains the interest — especially for viewers who don't care two frames if the treatment of newsreel camera-work is realistic or (as in this case) phony and naïve. The fast-paced script incorporates plenty of well-staged action, whilst the players plow through their predictable paces with finesse. We particularly enjoyed Gus Schilling's comment: "Aloysius K. Grimshaw can find anything — except low gear!"
