The Lone Wolf Strikes (1940)


Columbia Pictures
Directed by Sidney Salkow
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Turner Classic Movies)

Dapper reformed jewel thief Michael Lanyard, the Lone Wolf, helps a friend recover a stolen necklace. He gets it back by posing as a European fence, only to be forced to give it away again by kidnappers. Or maybe he gave them the exact replica? It's kind of hard to keep track. Anyway, the original thieves go after the other thieves, the police get involved, the Lone Wolf and his annoying sidekick-butler are in the hunt, all leading to a big chase scene for the finale. I don't remember who ended up with it.
