We know something's wrong with the glibly handsome Ray Roscoe (Sterling), but what. Nonetheless, he's saved prosperous Mitchell's (Carey) son's (Mumy) life, so now Mitchell takes in the footloose Ray as a house guest, soon discovering that was a mistake.
It's a suspenseful entry with nice guy Sterling making effective use of his charming persona. My guess is Sterling's part was written specifically for him. The story's upshot is not very persuasive, but getting there is more than half the fun. Carey's suitably sturdy as the school owner, along with wife Mc Kay. Good to see fine utility actor Swenson, along with King Kong's Robert Armstrong picking up a payday. It's not top-notch Hitch since the solution really is a stretch. Yet, the plot provides a typical Hitchcock guessing game that compensates for a lot.
