Thursday, Feb. 24 - Fallguy

Fallguy (1962)

Assisting a motorist who is the victim of an automobile accident, teenager Sonny Martin witnesses the murder of King Monarch, the city's rackets boss. Sonny seeks police protection when the syndicate tries to kill him and discovers that the police chief is a gang member trying to frame him for the gangland murder. Sonny escapes from the authorities, whereupon publisher Carl Tamin, secret leader of the gang, contracts a professional killer known as "The Indian" to eliminate Sonny, now hiding in the city slums. Sonny finally visits the home of Dr. Sam Johnson, a prominent physician, and reveals to his innocent daughter, June, that her father is a syndicate member. The two youngsters search for evidence to corroborate Sonny's story, but the racketeers close in on them. In the ensuing gunfight, Sonny and June are wounded while the gangsters kill each other.
