1945, English. Directed by Harold F. Kress.
This entry in the Crime Does Not Pay series focuses on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's effort to ensure that drugs are fully tested before they are sold to consumers.

The FDA and the state attorney general's office then go after the drug marketers.
