Ross Elliott (Frank) witnesses a murder and then takes off once the police arrive and start questioning him. Inspector Robert Keith (Ferris) tells him he is safer to be in police custody and under protection rather than out in the open for the killer to seek him out and silence him for good. Elliott takes his chance and legs it and we spend the film trying to track him down by following the attempts of his wife Ann Sheridan (Eleanor) to do this. Can she succeed or will the killer get to him first?
Dennis O'Keefe (Dan) plays an annoying journalist in this film but stick with it as his character improves about halfway through. Other minus points in this film come from Sheridan's attitude towards her husband. Does she care about him or does she not care? There is an inconsistency in her attitude which confuses the viewer as does her openness to team up with journalist O'Keefe. Meanwhile detective Keith is a pretty rubbish actor, barking out his lines in a Whit Bissell manner, and intonating everything with his high-pitched croak. Who let him in? Anyway, interestingly, he was married to the legend Peg Entwistle who has haunted the "Hollywood" lights since her suicide in 1932. The film has also been given the wrong title!
However, the story is good and entertains as we all wonder where on earth Elliott has got to. And poor innocent Reiko Sato (Suzie). She didn't deserve that.
