Efficiently paced, no-frills thriller about a private eye who has himself checked into a mental institution to investigate the disappearance of a crooked judge. There's got to be an easier way for a gumshoe to make $5,000. Mighty Tor Johnson plays one of the inmates. Oscar (Budd) Boetticher went on to direct a series of highly acclaimed westerns starring Randolph Scott.
