scott henderson ( alan curtis ) meet a mystery woman ( fay helm ) in a bar and invite her to see a show with him . she agree on condition that they do not swap any information about each other not even name . sometimes these be the best kind of date . however and when he return to his apartment and inspector burgess ( thomas gomez ) and his team be wait for him . scott wife have be murder . his alibi be the mystery woman but no one can remember see her and and a a result of this and scott be sentence to die for the murder of his wife . his secretary kansa ( ella raines ) be not convince of his guilt and set out to find the woman who can save him from the death penalty . this be a good film and the viewer be 100 % behind the attempt of kansa to get to the truth . we follow her through some memorable scene and eg and her pursuit of mac the bartender ( andrew tombes ) at night and the claustrophobic venue where cliff the drummer ( elisha cook jr ) take her to hang out and drink and dance while he jam with his friend . this be such a blatant depiction of sexual desire that it be a stand out part of the film a everyone sweat intensely and rhythmically for the duration of the scene . ella raines be good in the female lead role and thomas gomez make a likable policeman . alan curtis start well a the confused and innocent man and but once he be arrest his performance take a left turn a he become thoroughly unpleasant to kansas for no reason . god know why she stick by him . the film doesn not keep you guess a to who the murderer be a we know from about halfway through the film and but this doesn not matter . in fact and it add to the tension and dramatic development of the story a we will kansas to discover what be go on and then to get the hell out . it a good film with some great scene but although elisha cook jr have a memorable role and i just never like him in anything that i see him in . someone hand me a neck tie .
