Walter Abel ("Adams") wakes up bloodied and with no memory of what has happened to him. Luckily for him, "Marie" (Margot Grahame) is on a park bench opposite and down on her luck. The two return to her apartment where he, in surprising possession of $500, pays her rent arrears and together, they set about trying to discover whose blood it is, and where he got such a large sum of money from. Could he be the perpetrator of the brutal murder of a film producer? He'd better find out sharpish because he fits the police description of the wanted man! To be fair, this does - indeed - move along quickly, but Abel is just too lightweight for the part. It could also have done with a little humour too; it's a bit dry and the story takes too many convoluted silly twists and turns that seem designed to prolong the movie rather than adding anything to the complexities of the plot. The supporting cast try their best, but really this is all unremarkable stuff.
