Down and out bum Nathan "Nate" Bledsoe (an excellent performance by Warren Stevens) takes the shoes off a man that he finds dead in an alley. This enables Bledsoe to literally step into the deceased man's life. The only problem is that said dead man was a hoodlum who was murdered by his no-count cohorts.
Director Montgomery Pittman keeps the enjoyable and engrossing story moving along at a snappy pace as well as adroitly crafts a cool brooding film noir mood. Charles Beaumont's clever script presents a colorful array of lowlife characters and a neat "it ain't over yet!" ending. Joan Marshall offers sturdy support as loyal moll Wilma while Richard Devon exudes suave menace as smooth mobster Dagget. The sharp black and white cinematography by George T. Clemens provides a crisp stylish look. A fun episode.
