The female victim (Evelyn Keyes) of a harassing phone call may think she'll get help from the policeman (Van Heflin) who comes to investigate the complaint, but she's in for worse than she imagines when the corrupt cop won't leave her alone. The officer's growing obsession quickly turns into a plot to murder her husband, in this hard-boiled noir thriller. (official distributor synopsis)
