Description:Gangsters are printing counterfeit currency in prison and distributing it at an offshore casino. When the Feds get wind of this, they send agent Brass Bancroft (Ronald Reagan) to prison to get close to the gang members and find the plates. He provides an alibi for one of them who, in appreciation, lets Brass in on an escape plan and tells him where the plates are hidden. But when they meet up with the boss, he turns out to be a prison guard who knows Brass is an agent. Brass is shot and dumped in a lake, but gets to shore and gets the info to the agency. The prison guard shows up to shoot him, but his buddy Gabby (Eddie Foy Jr.) shoots the bad guy and saves the day.

Review - Smashing the Money Ring

On of four B movies in Reagan's Brass Bancroft series. They all seem very similar, and having watched all of them in the past few days, I would be hard pressed to remember the plot of any one of them or to recall what happened in each. Reagan had presence, and that lopsided grin even back then.
