    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Robert Bray receives an "introducing" credit, even though he is credited in 32 prior movies starting in 1947 (and 31 more, uncredited, before that). The "introducing" credit is qualified by "as Mike Hammer", suggesting that further appearances as Mike Hammer were planned or at least considered.
    • Goofs
      When Hammer drives Maria from the club to Red's apartment, his car has the top up. Cut to a two-shot in the car, and the top is down.
