Directed by D. Ross Lederman, the production features Michael Duane, Lenore Aubert, and Dick Lane.

He leaves his fiancee Alice (Lenore Aubert) at a hotel while he goes to the next town to get his car fixed.

When he leaves, a private detective, Gaylord Traynor (Richard Lane) follows him and offers his services to locate Ted's fiancee.

The grounds keeper tells Ted the family has left for good and has put Alice in a rest home because her "bad spells" have been getting worse.

Ted goes to the hospital where Alice is being held and finds her just as the in-laws arrive to finish the financials with the doctor.

An altercation ensues between Mr. Barkley and Ted when Mr. Traynor arrives with police, exposing the true story.

Film critic Dennis Schwartz generally liked the film, and wrote, "D. Ross Lederman (Texas Cyclone/Adventure in Iraq/Two-Fisted Law) skillfully directs the last of the eight entries in Columbia's superior Whistler mystery series, that was based on a popular radio show at the time.

The less than compelling payoff has the engineer tracking his fiance to the asylum and rescuing her with the help of the guilt-ridden private dick, who changes allegiances when he's convinced the family who hired him are criminals.
