Dennis O'Keefe is "Bennett" and aspiring lawyer who joins the team of District Attorney "Warren" (Adolphe Menjou). Initially he is prepared to put in the graft, and his boss is impressed - but when he begins to fall for the enigmatic "Marcia" (Marguerite Chapman) his focus starts to wander and he and his boss part company. Now on the other side of the fence, "Bennett" finds himself working for "Randolph" (George Coulouris) and embroiled in a complex property scam that could involve his new love. It's not a bad effort at a crime noir, this, but there is far too much dialogue and little on-screen chemistry between O'Keefe and his not-so-smouldering femme-fatale Chapman. It is probably about fifteen minutes too long, with a little too much preamble that could have been reinvested in the grittier end of the proceedings that are all rather conveniently - and hastily - pulled together. It's pretty procedural and I can't think you'll remember watching it afterwards, but it passes the time ok.
