1960's "DRAMATIZED TRAINING FILM: Criminals use store fronts and telephones to cover up illegal gambling operations.

Warning: This film actually contains politically incorrect behaviour, nudity and graphic, disturbing images. This police training film demonstrates how to be a lousy cop and a lousy driver. The first half of the film is surprisingly effective, especially for a no-budget 16mm training film in the sixties. Beware: Not for the sqeamish. A big cut above any other driver training film, mostly due to the fact that the central character is a police officer.
