Bunco Squad

Master con artist Anthony Wells and his team of sham spiritualists and séance operators have found the perfect mark: a wealthy widow (Elisabeth Risdon) convinced that Well's phony Rama Society can put the grieving woman in touch with her deceased son. The con is on, and the LAPD's bunco squad is out to stop it in this brisk B documentary-style crime tale that features intriguing glimpses of mid-century Los Angeles locales. Robert Sterling (TV's Topper Series) plays an investigating cop closing in on Wells (Ricardo Cortez). The cast also includes Dante - aka Dante the Magician - whose amazing stage shows were once international sensations. (forgalmazó hivatalos szövege)
