Charles McGraw gets to play a rare romantic lead in his career in this generic B crime thriller. Co-starring vampish fatale Jeanne Dixon it is a suitable supporting cast and some sardonic dialogue that carries the film before it collapses with an overlong chase about the LA tidal basin making all before it almost superfluous.
Insurance dick Joe Peters (McGraw) is an honest investigator who along with partner, Harry Miller (Louie Jean Heydt) make for a successful and close team. After completing another successful case they split up and he meets fortune hunter Diane Morely (Dixon) who wants more than an investigator's salary to support her.
McGraw is gruff in everything he does with thugs and lovers. Dixon lust for money and the material burns in her eyes. Heydt makes for a convincing partner as does Lowell Gilmore as a slimy crook but Harold Daniels direction is lack luster, the look basic B.
