This is a rather better than usual offering from PRC (aka Poverty Row Cinemas) that sees Barbara Slater ("Norma") show up at the apartment of her very long-estranged husband's new fiancee - "Vicki" (Mary Beth Hughes) declaring that they would not be getting married anytime soon... What adds to the mystery is just quite why this woman would show up seven years after husband "Larry" (Hugh Beaumont) last clapped eyes on her... They decide to confront her, only to discover that she has already gone the way of the dodo. Luckily for "Larry" - he has a cast iron alibi - drunk as a lord asleep on the couch of cabaret singer ""Lucille" (Claudia Drake) at the 711 club; so "Vicki" decides to investigate - quite a perilous procedure as it turns out. It's only just over the hour, and the story ticks over nicely. A few red herrings and solid performances from Beaumont, Hughes and Edmund MacDonald ("Lucky") - the dodgy looking owner of the club.
