She's his ex-secretary, his girlfriend, AND possibly in league with murderers? Workplace HR nightmare.
Philip Ford's crime thriller stars Lloyd Bridges as a city attorney who comes to the dawning realization that a jewelry heist may be behind the discovery of a dead body in the park -- and that the culprit may be one of the town's leading citizens (Ray Collins). Unfortunately, his investigation is hampered by his girlfriend and ex-secretary (Lorna Gray), who could very well be in cahoots with the bad guys.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Lorna Gray was credited as 'Adrian Booth' for her Republic Pictures contract work—a studio-mandated identity swap almost as convoluted as her character's.
Released by Republic Pictures, this 'B' feature played as second billing to bigger westerns; its 61-minute length was calculated to fit exact double-feature slots without cutting into concession sales.
