B-lister Don Castle doubles up here as a paroled hoodlum ("Carney") who bears a striking resemblance to the local DA ("Thorne"). When the latter is kidnapped, the plan is for him to be substituted by the felon who can then do the bidding of local kingpin, the wheelchair bound "Locke" (Edward Keane). Before they can implement their cunning plan, though, the prisoner manages to free himself and assumes the role of of his own would-be impersonator, and just in the nick of time too. Now it is up to "Thorne" to set a trap for the criminals and to avoid detection - especially perilous when the other man's wife (Patricia Knight) shows up. Surely she will spot the difference and turn him in? We've seen the plot once or twice before so we don't get anything new, but the story is still quite a quickly paced, watchable affair with Jeff Chandler curiously cast as the baddie's enforcer-in-chief. Joe Sawyer is also quite effective as the copper "Lt. Rocky" and despite the rather unhelpful title, it kills an hour well enough.
