There's something akin to Phil Silvers in James Dunn's performance in this Monogram thriller about a wealthy man who goes missing then returns to his armchair in some sort of trance. Ex-detective Dunn and his sidekick Joan Woodbury try to get to the bottom of it. It's engaging enough, but the qualit ... y of the script doesn't support the pacey dialogue anywhere near well enough; and the humour in the quipping dries up pretty quickly leaving us with a pretty routine caper.
