  • ""Station West" may look like a western, but it sure sounds like a contemporary film noir. Dick Powell stars as Haven, a government private investigator assigned to investigate the murders of two cavalrymen. Travelling incognito, Haven arrives in a small frontier outpost, where leggy saloon singer Charlie (Jane Greer) controls all illegal activities. After making short work of Charlie's burly henchman (Guinn Williams), Haven gets a job at her gambling emporium, biding his time and gathering evidence against the gorgeous crime chieftain. Cast as a philosophical bartender, Burl Ives is afforded at least one opportunity to sing."

  • "Two adventurers re-enlist in the Marines and foil a spy plot in "Call Out the Marines". A mixture of slapstick comedy, campy songs and undercover spy intrigue. In "The Clay Pigeon", an amnesiac sailor finds himself courtmartialled for treason, but discovers the real culprit. With the help of a widow, he relentlessly strives to clear himself and encounters his former sadistic Japanese prison camp guard in the process."@en
