This is quite a decent little comedy thriller - let down by some really naff writing and a B-rate cast that even the usually reliable C. Henry Gordon cannot elevate beyond mediocrity. The story centres around the murder of a rather unscrupulous mine owner who had previously disposed of his erstwhile partner. His daughter "Marian" (Nan Grey) recruits the services of her fiancé "Nick" (Donald Woods) - who happens to be a private eye - and the pair try to discover whom, amongst a multitude of suspects - dealt the deathly blow. The budget must have been nominal, but Otis Garrett keeps the pot boiling along well enough for an hour with just enough red herrings and jeopardy to keep it from running aground. Not a film you will remember, but not terrible either.
