Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Robert Lowery stars as Paul Kimberly, a former newspaperman who takes on a particularly noxious form of corruption. The villains are crooked housing administrators who prey upon returning GIs and their families. Just when it appears that one of the administrators is going to tell all to Kimberly, the man is murdered at the behest of "top man" Vincent Arnold (Charles Evans). It helps Kimberly's objectivity not at all when he himself falls in love with Arnold's innocent daughter Anne (Anabel Shaw). With the advantage of a topical storyline, Killer at Large is one of the better PRC releases from this period.
