Brash but able reporter Larry Doyle (Robert Armstrong) is out of a job and nearly out of money, too. He nevertheless comes to the aid of another unfortunate, Anne Ogilvie (Maxine Doyle), and together they contrive to get lodging and food. Complications and opportunities arise when they become embroiled in a bank robbery and murder. An unmemorable picture, The Mystery Man is however buoyed by Armstrong’s performance.

Mildly recommended.
