John Forbes (Dick Powell) seems to be happily married to Sue (Jane Wyatt) except he hates the rut in his life as a regimented insurance adjuster. His latest case is Mona Stevens (Lizabeth Scott) and the $10k stolen by her boyfriend Bill Smiley. His investigator J.B. MacDonald (Raymond Burr) is obsessed with her.
Dick Powell has the everyday look of a nobody middle management. That's what this role needs. He and Jane Wyatt are a good Leave It to Beaver couple. Lizabeth is most notable for her eyebrows. Raymond Burr is a good villain. It's the ugliness underneath 50's America.
