Storyline

The Los Angeles police know that Pete Ritchie (Raymond Burr) has been bringing drugs into the city, but they can't pin a single piece of evidence on him. After many botched attempts to get at the crook, they resort to having cop Madeleine (Claire Trevor) go undercover and seduce her way into Ritchie's circle. Before she can get anywhere, she's abducted by Johnny (Fred MacMurray), a government agent posing as a thug. But Johnny and Madeleine have no idea they're on the same side of the law.

Short Review

Watched this film because it was described as noire ... it is not ! It attempts to be comedic and romantic and fails miserably at both. It's confusing and quite frankly boring.
