Tonight's Stinker: The Devil's Sleep(1949)

Tonight's Stinker The Devil's Sleep(1949) https://youtu.be/848xrrlpbzg?si=NHDCjnfY1bid1hxh Opens with flashing headlines about teenage crime, kids popping pills, with an announcer blabbing something, then roll opening credits, then a teenager running down a dark alley & the cops catch him..... So, the female judge of juvenile court is discussing what's gotten into kids these days with a police chief & his head of narcotics cop.... The narc's girlfriend's kid brother is from the same neighborhood, & figures he could enlist the boy's help.... Thing is, the boy is one of the bad guy's customers, along with his girlfriend, who happens to be the judge's daughter..... The drug dealers run their operation out of a lady's spa & gym, where he sells uppers to the clients, & has a young recruiter sells stolen pharmaceuticals to teens & persuades them to rob medical warehouses..... The narc gets to work, while the teens go to pool parties at the recruiter's house..... Watchable, with the gym being a setting for fat jokes & Hays Code exploitation, under the guise of being anti-drug propaganda......
