Harold Dunlop (Charles /Russell) has accidently killed his fiance, No one saw him do it but after he drops the body on a railroad platform, a young boy (Dale Belding, probably best known as Danny, one of Ma and Pa Kettle's kids) notices him and can place him at the scene. A flood has washed out the bridge, isolating the town, so Dunlop goes to a boarding house. This happens to be where the boy lives and he thinks he recognizes the new border. What to do? Try to kill the boy, of course. Also staying at the boarding house is eye candy Jean Maxwell (Mary Beth Hughes).
A suspenseful noir film directed by Lew Landers and scripted by Jerome T. Gollard. Russell and Hughes are supported by a great cast of familiar faces, including Billy House (no relation), Fritz Leiber (Sr.), Nana Bryant, Lee Patrick, Roscoe Ates, Eddie Parks, Eve Miller, and Bert Stevens.
Yes, the film did have to get permission from Simon & Shuster to use the Inner Sanctum title.
