An itinerant laborer is found hanging by the rafters in his Los Angeles boardinghouse room and the cops are ready to wrte it off as a suicide. All but
Detective Robert Douglas who says an ex-Navy man wouldn't have done sch a
sloppy job with knots.
A book of matches takes him to a resort hotel where there was another murder that the locals have listed as an accident. of course that's not right either.
The big problem with homicide is that there is no suspense so we know that it is murder and by two men. We don't know who's in charge, but that cat's out of the bag soon too.
Despite a lack of suspense there are some good performances from Robert Douglas, Helen Westcott, and Robert Alda in the leads.
