Call a Messenger

At its core, Call a Messenger follows a story that unfolds like this: A tough street kid attempts to rob a post office and is caught. In order to avoid reform school, he takes a job as a messenger with the post office. He finds that he likes it, and when his brother is released from prison, attempts to help his brother go straight. However, the two of them get mixed up with a local gangster, who has plans to start robbing post office branches and using the messenger and his brother to do it.

Rather than rushing, the film lets tension build naturally, trusting the audience to keep up. The tagline — "THE DEAD END KIDS versus THE LITTLE TOUGH GUYS Clashing head on...for control of the gutter!" — captures that tone perfectly.
