Only certain details have changed to make it unique to its script. Hugo Haas seem to have an obsession with his characters onscreen being married to younger women, and in several of those films, it was the blond femme fatale Cleo Moore. Sitting in a bar one night with employee Vince Edwards, he begins a friendly conversation with the attractive more who seemingly as a gag agrees to marry him. She's a good 20 or more years younger than him, and something about your demeanor seams suspicious. While she pretends to be annoyed by the macho Edwards, it isn't long before they are having an affair and plotting to kill her husband by the old hit and run. she believes him to be dead, but when I look alike twin brother appears and seems to know too much, Moore and Edwards begin to suspect that they accidentally killed her husband's brother (just released from prison) and that he has come back to haunt them while using his brother's identity.
If you like trashy pulp novels, this will be right up your alley, and it is certainly delightfully scandalous and loaded with amorality. Moore, Edwards and Haas deliver performance is appropriate for this type of low-grade melodrama, and certainly Moore and Edwards are very attractive together. there's also Dolores read as a dark-haired vixen who makes a play for Edwards, although this does unfortunately lack a nice showdown between her and Moore. The ending is a complete letdown, building itself up to something powerful yet falling down with little impact. Even if this had been an original story that has Haas had not done before, I would still rank it as a stinker, as if the car had rotten eggs instead of gasoline.
