An amnesiac (Tom Conway), aided by a kindly taxi driver (Ann Rutherford), recovers his identity in a citywide search for clues, finding himself at the center of a murder intrigue involving theatrical writers and producers, a stolen play, jealousy and blackmail.  It’s a heck of a way to reawaken to the world, but our hero reconstitutes both his identity and the truth in this taut thriller.
