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 quality 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.
