A semi-documentary melodrama about the pursuit and eventual capture of an elusive murderer in Los Angeles.
Two detectives are assigned to catch the killer, Roy Morgan, a brilliant mystery man with no known criminal past. Roy Morgan is hiding in a Hollywood bungalow and listening to police calls on his custom radio in an attempt to avoid capture. The film is notable for its resemblance to the final scene in The Third Man in which Orson Welles is chased through the sewers of Vienna.
