Holt of the Secret Service

Square-jawed Jack Holt plays himself - or at least the screen version of himself- in this exciting Columbia cliffhanger in 15 chapters. Holt, playing a U.S. Secret Service agent, is assigned to track down a ring of counterfeiters flooding the country with bogus money. With help from voluptuous Kay Drew (Evelyn Brent), he plans to join the gang by posing as desperate criminal Nick Farrel, and thereby get the goods on the bad guys. Holt endures numerous brushes with death over the course of the serial but manages to avoid even a scratch, or a crease in his well-tailored business suit. James W. Horne tightly directs and even manages to inject some humorous moments into the proceedings.
