Van Heflin solidifies his stereotype as an amoral and selfish cop who takes advantage of gullible housewife Evelyn Keyes. He uses his position of authority to start a romance with her while her husband, an overnight disc jockey, is away at work. Keyes ultimately falls in love but Heflin is strictly after her money. He's got an elaborate plan to murder the husband so he can marry the widow and gain the inheritance. It does not go as planned and the finale takes place in a remote desert ghost town. Keyes overacts and the plot is barely believable, but it is entertaining.
