It's an ordinary day down at the local power plant. Barry Kane (Robert Cummings, "The Twilight Zone") and his best friend meet a man named Fry (Norman Lloyd, In Her Shoes). Then all of a sudden the whole plant BLOWS up! Kane's best friend is killed, and Fry disappears. But when Kane is accused of starting the explosion, it is apparent that Fry is a Nazi agent and started the fire. Out to clear his name, Kane sets out to find Fry even with the police on his trail.
I have found that I like Hitchcock's action movies. [b]Vertigo[/b] is not, [b]Psycho[/b] is not, and [b]Rear Window[/b]? NO!!!! Those are thrillers, strictly. This proves that no plot in his films or not, Hitchcock puts great direction into his films. Cummings is great as the main character. Lane is okay, but I was never impressed with her.
