This'll Kill You

Kimble works for laundromat owner Charlie Paris (Mickey Rooney), a former nightclub comedian and also a former bookie whose gambling past earns him regular harassing visits from local police Sergeant Thorpe (George Tyne) in a futile search for betting markers. Charlie is anxiously awaiting his girlfriend Paula Jellison but also learns of the arrival of Mob enforcer Pete Ragin (Philip E. Pine). Charlie is unaware that Ragin has paid Paula to set him up and becomes angry when Kimble tries to tell him. But he finds out the truth and tragedy ensues when Kimble, Charlie, Thorpe, and Ragin wind up in a showdown at the laundromat.
