The Whistler narrates this story. Earl C. Conrad (Richard Dix) hires a killer to do a hit. The target is himself. He is distraught over his wife's death. After hiring the hitman, he finds out that his wife is still alive but has trouble calling off the hit.
This seems to have a good paranoid noir thriller premise. The thriller aspect is where this falls down. It's not at all exciting. It tries to gin up some thrills with some dark alley foot chases. It's not that good. It's only 59 minutes but it feels like a longer grind. I had high hopes for this noir B-movie and especially its premise. The hopes are not paid off.
