A femme fatale around 45 years old certainly doesn't fill out the accurate term of femme fatale whatsoever, starting of this premise the already aged Merle Oberon role falls apart, also a bit far-fetched plot concerning an affair between the 37 years old Lex Barker falling in love for woman 8 years older, firstly because him is a wealthy business man that has a partnership of a profitable Dog track, when suddenly his old partner sold his share for a gangster Warren Stevens without consulting Baker, so many holes come across over a lame screenplay, however something will overcame these weak points ahead.
In a double frame up takes place for Barker accused of a murder of his partner, running away from Warren's henchmen in borrow a car that previously ran over a old pedestrian, he is charge with two crimes altogether, nonetheless for your luck one nullifies the other, meanwhile the real guilty for the hit-and-run is the fancy Oberon, both approach each other by own sake, Charles Drake a police detective somehow allied of Barker due he figures out that such killing wasn't Barker's procedure, thus tries find the truth by own means as a straight policeman.
The last sequence on train will saves the movie of the unavoidable flop, minimizing the mismatches, an emblematic outcome, another fail quite sure is miscasting the foreign actress Gia Scala, almost needless on the plot, maybe the producer wanted put an Angel face make up for lack of chemistry of Merle Oberon, the highlights are Charles Drake in a decent acting and the thrilled and suspeceful act on train, without forget an old acquittance of us Stafford Repp as taxi driver.
