Claude Rains is camping in the North Woods when he realizes he's been so cut off from the world that he's forgotten his wedding anniversary is today. He rushes back home, where he discovers that fascists, led by Martin Kosleck, have taken over the town. Indeed, they've taken over the country while he wasn't paying attention.

Sam Goldwyn may have said that if you wanted to send a message, use Western Union. Arch Oboler obviously disagreed with him in this movie which makes the point that we can't take freedom for granted. I'm tempted to agree with "Now more than ever!" but it always seems that way.

Rains is one of those actors I couldn't imagine giving a bad performance. Alas, he starts off this movie.
