Michael Shayne: Angel, what are you doing?
Phyllis Hamilton: My beauty exercises, Mike.
Michael Shayne: You don't need to do that.
Phyllis Hamilton: Oh, no? With all those dizzy blondes throwing themselves at you, I'm not taking any chances. Besides, I want you to love me when I'm old and gray.
Michael Shayne: Why should a couple of years make a difference? Anyway, I'm allergic to blondes. Can I help it if I'm irresistible?

A Good PRC Shayne

A private investigator Mike Shayne (Hugh Beaumont) knew ten years ago walks into his office and drops dead, shot in the chest. He's got a piece of a baggage claim. After the police clear the corpse out, Louise Currie comes in, asks Beaumont to get her escaped-convict ex-husband off her back, hopefully by shooting him, kisses him, and leaves. Soon the police and the FBI are on Beaumont's back about a mysterious set of plans stolen presumably for resale to an unnamed foreign government.

There are lots of swerves in Sam Newfield's last movie directed for PRC. It moves at a good clip, which serves to cover up the holes and obvious red herrings in Fred Myton's typically ham-handed script. It's based on Brett Halliday's novel THE CORPSE CAME CALLING. A good cast, Jack Greenhalgh's camerawork in a good print, and good location shooting also help. With Cheryl Walker, Ralph Dunn, Douglas Fowley, and Brooks Benedict.
