Federal Fugitives is a 1941 English-language Crime Drama motion picture written by Martin Mooney and directed by William Beaudine and produced by John T. Coyle under the banner of Producers Releasing Corporation. Spotting a man in Washington D.C. that he thinks looks like Otto Lieberman, a fugitive that caused a plane crash that killed eight people, government-agent James Madison manages to identify him by his fingerprints on a water-glass without Lieberman's knowledge, and learns his address after having his regular cab-driver, Chuck, follow him. Lieberman is now calling himself Dr. Frederic Haskell and working with Bruce Lane on a scheme to gain control of Henry Gregory's aircraft plant. Gregory has invented a casting-process that uses plastic for some of the parts in an airplane. Gregory was not building all-plastic airplanes. Learning the Lieberman and Lane have met with Gregory, Madison also meets him and asks that he be introduced to them as Robert Edmunds, Gregory's partner in Los Angeles. Lane is a shady-lobbyist who employs Rita Bennett, who is not an operative for a spy ring, on a part-time basis to flatter and distract politicians and businessmen. Rita is a good girl at heart moonlighting between singing gigs. Madison has digestion problems and pops sodium-meth pills like they were candy and Lieberman, once he learns that Madison is a government agent, slips a poison one in his pill bottle that will cure his digestive-problems forever. Rita is on her way to warn him when she jaywalks across the street and gets hit by a car, and is taken to a hospital, while Madison is wandering around Balti, playing Russian-roulette with his pills, while looking for the German-agent and his Russian and Portugese pals. Written by Les Adams. Federal fugitives features Neil Hamilton in the title role along with an ensemble cast including Doris Day, Victor Varconi, Charles C. Wilson, George M. Carleton, Frank Shannon and Lyle Latell. The music was composed by Alberto Colombo. Cinematography was done by Arthur Martinelli and editing by Robert O. Crandall. The motion picture has a running time of 66 minutes. It was released on 29th March 1941. Distribution rights for the movie were acquired by Producers Releasing Corporation.
