Despite a suggestive title and a penny-dreadful type of introduction, promising a shocking glimpse of marital infidelity, the movie is still much closer to Victor Hugo's original Ruy Blas than to a Mickey Spillane epic.

After winning two minor celebrities as converts (Cowboy Singer Stuart Hamblen and Track Star Louis Zamperini), Graham made the front pages by converting one "Big Jim" Vaus, a wiretapper by trade who had recently done a job or two for Gangster Mickey Cohen. The story got even better when Graham invited Cohen to a small meeting of Hollywood personalities.
