A wealthy man hires a detective to investigate his wife's past. The detective (Franchot Tone) discovers that the wife had been a dancer and left her home town with an actor. The latter is killed before he can talk, but, with the help of a showgirl, the detective learns that the wife had used stolen papers from a girl friend to enter college after she had stolen $40,000 from the night club where she worked. The detective eventually learns that the husband had killed his wife when he discovered her past in order to avoid a scandal, and had hired the detective to try and frame him for the killing.

It&#39;s slow and plodding. OK if you have nothing else to do, but you might find your mind wandering.
I saw this in a theater in &#39;07 at Noir City in Seattle. It&#39;s what was evolving into television-style production of the various genres at H&#39;wood&#39;s command. As noted elsewhere FT is risible in tough guy scenarios (just ask Tom Neal) and I think the inspiration was more Hammer than Hammet as someone else here claimed. It would put you to sleep if you tried to watch it on video or TV. It&#39;s passable in a theater, especially if you haven&#39;t seen old movies in context before.
