Linda (Marjorie Reynolds) is the secretary to a lawyer (Charles Quigley). When he becomes the DA he asks Linda to marry him. Now engaged she is high on cloud nine... until gangster Tony (Wade McTaggart) turns up back from jail. Tony wants Linda back though she isn't that keen...
When Tony is shot suspicion falls on Linda's brother Jerry (Howard Masters) who was on the scene... and with a gun...
An interesting little crime drama mixing some family dynamics and dark secrets. Not a bad film but could have been improved with some better writing. McTaggart is great in his role, a cool bad guy with some sharp lines. The courtroom scenes at the end of the film are good though whether the DA would really have stayed on the case involving his fiance is of course nonsense.
