After his wife unexpectedly leaves him for another man, a police detective by the name of "Sergeant Ed Stagg" (Lloyd Bridges) is left to raise his daughter "Tina" (Sallie Shockley) all by himself. To that effect, he becomes extremely protective of her even after she grows up and marries a young man named "Steve Butler" (Frank Converse). So, when Sergeant Stagg learns that Steve is having an affair with a young woman named "Louise Campbell" (Anne Helm) he decides to go to her apartment and pay her a visit hoping end this relationship once and for all. Unfortunately, things don't go as planned as, not only does Louise refuse to listen, but in a fit of anger he accidentally pushes her against a wall--which results in in a fatal head injury. Needless to say, this unanticipated turn-of-events alarms him and, wanting to shield his daughter from both the consequences of his actions and her husband's infidelity, he decides to cover his tracks the best that he can. What he doesn't count on, however, is Steve becoming the prime suspect which, if known, will totally devastate his daughter to an extent he cannot allow. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this was an okay crime-drama which suffered to a certain degree by the relatively familiar plot and the rather generic made-for-television format. Even so, I suppose it was worth the time spent to watch it and for that reason I have rated it accordingly. Average.
