Nice guy Gordon MacRae is recovering in the local VA hospital when he finds out his friend and old war buddy, played by Edmund O'Brien, is accused of murder. Along with the nurse he has fallen in love with, Virginia Mayo, he begins a search for his friend that lasts practically the entire film. In a series of flashbacks, we learn how O'Brien became involved with gambling and murder. There are too many of these flashbacks and they interrupt the flow of the narrative. Anyway, MacRae is given some fairly obvious and coincidental clues which allow him into the inner circle of the gamblers and eventually to the truth. Viveca Lindfors is a lounge singer/femme fatale.
