This one just might earn the distinction of worst noir ever made. Poor Richard Travis is a police investigator who testifies against an artist for the murder of the mayor. Fingerprints on the murder weapon appear to make this an open and shut case. However, things look a little too perfect and Travis begins to backtrack on his testimony. The real killer is painfully obvious, and the "scientific" investigation a travesty. The soundtrack is completely inappropriate, mostly church organ music, occasionally broken up by angelic choirs. Comedy relief comes in the form of newspaper photographer Sid Melton, a freeze frame of his mug ends this dreadful picture.
