THE STORY (Not for Publication) Robert Douglas as Detective Landers suspects murder when the body of a transient ranch worker is found in a cheap Los Angeles hotel. Unable to he assigned officially to the case, Landers takes off on “vacation” and goes to the swank Glorietta Springs Hotel, a book of matches with that label having been found at the scene of the crime. Other clues are a bad hangman’s knot and a saccharin pill. Here he meets the bartender, played by Robert Alda, and the cigarette girl, Helen Westcott. Following a tip from the latter, he goes to a nearby ranch where the “accidental” death of the owner had recently occurred. He finds a piece of telephone wire, tracks it back and finds it leads to Alda’s room at the hotel. Shot at mysteriously, he barely manages to get back safely to the hotel himself. Next day he learns Alda is a diabetes sufferer, and promptly accuses him of the crime. The wires had been installed by Andy, an electrical expert, in order to operate his illegal racing wire service. He orders Alda to drive him to the police, but enroute, Alda swerves the car off the road, a terrific fight ensues in the desert with Douglas ultimately winning out to bring his prisoner to justice.
