Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

A cop (Tierney) is suspected of killing a gorgeous film star. Since he was extremely drunk at the time, even he suspects that he did it. As he investigates the murder, a slimy gossip columnist (Carradine) who spent time with the woman that night becomes the main suspect. But he also becomes a red herring when a third man is finally found to be the real killer.

The film also marked a return to the screen of noir icon Lawrence Tierney, whose off-screen bar brawls and numerous arrests during the 1940s had made him persona non grata in Hollywood." Look up Persona non grata in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. ...
