Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Weldon Heyburn, Poverty Row's answer to Clark Gable, stars in the lively little cheapie Dynamite Delaney. Filmed with the cooperation of the State Highway Patrol of Pennsylvania, the story concerns a brash and none-too-likeable motor cop (Heyburn) who manages to get himself thrown off the force. Our hero redeems himself by tracking down a gang of ruthless kidnappers. The forgotten Eve Farrell shows up as Heyburn's waitress girlfriend, while former leading man and RKO casting director Donald Dillaway plays a secondary role. At 77 minutes, Dynamite Delaney was about two reels longer than the average action quickie.
