Electrical lineman John 'Lucky' Walden (Bruce Cabot) confronts the crooked gambler who stole his money and ends up killing him. He is sentenced to be executed.
It's interesting that Lucky is not innocent at all. I don't know that much about Cabot. He seems to be a veteran character actor who performed mostly next to the spotlight. He's more the thug side character. He's not really leading anyways. I guess that this could be called noir or a crime film. I would have preferred embracing the dark side a lot more and a bit less electricity. The electrical arcs are fun. It's a somewhat bland criminal character study. I'm not drawn to this character but it's still a little interesting.
