Complications include Richard's friend, a district attorney who investigates the man's disappearance, and a third party scheming to blackmail them both. While relatively unsophisticated by today's standards, and hampered by the Hays Code, the film was moderately well-regarded in its day for its convincing portrayal of an ordinary man driven to heinous crime by one bad decision.
