About this release
HE'S TERRIFIC! Your favorite crime crusader is back! The second installment of the Dick Tracy film series released by RKO Radio Pictures, "Dick Tracy Vs. Cueball" stars Morgan Conway as the famously unstoppable detective based on the eponymous 1930s comic strip character. When ex-convict Cueball steals valuable diamonds and embarks on a gory killing spree, Dick Tracy allows his girlfriend Tess to act as a buyer for the gems, only to see his plan backfire when the homicidal Cueball captures her. Thrilling and full of mystery, this pulp action film features top-notch performances from Conway and Golden Globe nominee Anne Jeffreys ("Dillinger") as the lovely and alluring Tess Trueheart.
