Sam Katzman ripped from the headlines effort with the novelty that it's set in Tijuana and the hero is a Mexican - a crusading newspaper editor. He's shot in the film, as he was in real life - towards the end of the running time.
There's other subplots like Robert Blake as his son, an American night club manager who used to be a musician, James Darren as an American tourist who romances/sleezes on the editor's daughter and who has a ridiculous death, running from police who want to arrest him for driving while stoned and drowning in the ocean.
The Tijuana setting and Mexican hero make this worth watching as does effective appearances from Blake and Darren.
