Black Market Babies is a 1945 American crime drama film directed by William Beaudine and released by Monogram Pictures.[1] The film has been released on DVD.[2]
A small-time hood teams up with an alcoholic obstetrician to set up a private maternity ward, where the expectant mothers' expenses are paid by the "donations" of "adoptive" parents. The racket goes wrong when one of the previously sold children is stillborn, which means the hood has to come up with a replacement baby.
