The Girl From Chicago

From legendary African American pioneer director Oscar Micheaux comes the tale of undercover agent Carl Mahon, who is on a case in the deep South, in "The Girl from Chicago" (1932). There, he falls in love with a young schoolteacher (Starr Calloway) who is being harassed by a crime boss. He takes her back to Harlem, where he must rescue her friend, Eunice Brooks from a numbers racket, only to find himself accused of murder. This is a talkie remake of Micheaux's silent film "The Spider's Web" (1926). Alsostarring Grace Smith.
