Wilder Turns Director

Douglas Fowley is a reporter who lives above his means. He borrows money from a lot of people, including homicide detective Paul Kelly; Kelly is amused at Fowley's ability to do everything but write. When they meet rich Maris Wrixon, they're both interested, but when Fowley discover she has a heart condition, he asks her to marry him, and she agrees. But she doesn't die, and Fowley's debts and those of his mistress, Anne Gwynne, mount up. So they come up with a murder plan with a fool-proof alibi.

It's W. Lee Wilder's first movie as director, and he directs it for melodrama, which is not a bad decision, even if it comes in as heavy-handed In some ways it's a variation on DOUBLE INDEMNITY, co-written and directed by Wilder's brother BIlly, but lacking the star power and bitter humor of that classic.
