A railroad crossing. A stranded car. A beautiful blonde - unconcious. Moody scientst Jim Grayson (Jeff Hunter) rescues the lovely Lorrie (Anne Francis) only to learn that she's his boss' wife! She wants out of the marriage, but her cruel, controlling husband Curt (Dana Andrews) won't let her go. After Grayson and Lorrie embark on a torrid love affair, Grayson hatches the perfect plan. Kill Curt while faking insanity to avoid a murder rap! Grayson's convincing portrayal makes everyone believe he's gone mad. The judge, the psychiatrists and even himself. In this edgy psychological thriller directed by veteran character actor and thriller specialist William Conrad (My Blood Runs Cold, Two on a Guillotine), there's a method to one's madness, and you'd be crazy to miss it.
