    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The score was written by Rudy Schrager, an immensely talented composer who's been all but forgotten. (His Gunsmoke (1955) scores are required listening for any movie music fan.) When, after WWII, the union representing film composers prohibited them from writing TV music, Schrager and several other composers had some of their film scores re-orchestrated and recorded in Europe. Schrager, et al, could then be paid for their work when this "laundered" music was used in TV shows - one of which was Adventures of Superman (1952).
    • Goofs
      After knocking Dixon out, Carr revives him by throwing a glass of water in his face--and completely misses.
    • Quotes
      • [closing lines]
      • Mike Carr: Who'd want to look at a girl for the rest of his life and always be reminded of murder?
    • Crazy credits
      Don Castle is given "Presenting" credit, which is normally a euphemism for "Introducing," even though he had some 30 credits going back to 1938.
