This film begins with a private detective from San Francisco named "Bradford Galt" (Mark Stevens) who has had to relocate to New York after being framed for the death of an innocent man by his former partner "Anthony Jardine" (Kurt Krueger) who he had caught engaging in illegal activity. Naturally, having spent some time in prison Bradford wants nothing more than to put the entire episode behind him and get on with life. Unfortunately, when he catches a thug by the name of "Fred Foss" (William Bendix) following him and discovers that he was hired by Anthony Jardine he realizes that things aren't going to be quite that simple. What he doesn't know, however, is that there is much more intrigue of a very sinister nature about to unfold and through no fault of his own he is caught right in the middle of it. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this was a surprisingly good detective film which includes several twists and turns along the way. It also features Lucille Ball (as "Kathleen Stewart") in a serious role as Bradford's secretary as well. In any case, I recommend this film for those interested and have rated it accordingly. Slightly above average.
