Ann Gorman, a persistent young female reporter, is investigating a murder spree committed by a mysterious strangler, known only as "The Judge".

Both men leave the bar after receiving a phone call about the Judge's latest criminal act, and Gorman follows them.

At the crime scene, Grant and Collins discover the Judge's note with cut-out letters, stating he had "been ordained to destroy all evil."

After determining the killer's height, weight and appearance, Grant constructs a faceless dummy to help his men conduct their investigation.

Bosley Crowther of The New York Times was dismissive of the film and wrote, "There is no intelligent reason why anyone should heed the proposal of Follow Me Quietly...[f]or this utterly senseless little thriller is patently nothing more than a convenient one-hour time-killer between performances of the eight-act vaudeville bill.

"[2] Reviewing it on DVD, Gene Triplett of The Oklahoman wrote, "[T]his obscure gem packs a remarkable amount of thrills and dramatic weight into a mere 59 minutes".

[3] Paul Mavis of DVD Talk rated it 4.5/5 stars and called it a "strange, unsettling film noir mystery, with a disturbing subtext".
