To make ends meet, Jeff Chandler has hired out as a sex shill to a couple of confidence gamesters at a California seashore resort, and when the lady starts pinching pennies. Jeff stops pinching her. He just picks up his muscles and walks out. That same night the lady dies. "I'm sorry," says Jeff, and waits a full 24 hours -whether out of respect or satiety, the script does not make clear...
