Special Agent K-7

Lanny Landers wants to put his secret life as an FBI man behind him and enjoy his wealth, but can't resist the challenge of just ONE more Bureau assignment: to smash organized crime!

The Feds have several shady characters in their sights and Landers goes undercover to infiltrate the private NYC nightclub where they congregate. One killing leads to another, and an innocent young man is charged with murder. Landers proves that an important piece of evidence is forged and now the real killer marks HIM for death.

This whodunit was heralded as the first in a Special Agent K-7 series but only one entry resulted. Walter McGrail plays the moneyed playboy turned law enforcer with good support from veteran villain Irving Pichel as an underhanded lawyer and Duncan "The Cisco Kid" Renaldo as a murder victim. There's even a song courtesy of future Broadway star Joy Hodges, who in real life changed human history: The very year that Special Agent K-7 was made, she famously helped Ronald Reagan get his foot in the Hollywood door, his first step on the road that led to the White House, the collapse of the Soviet empire and a new world order!
