David Cummins Kent Smith is trapped in a dry cistern and wondering whether he will die there. The largest portion of the rest of the film is a flashback to a week earlier then forward, detailing the events that landed him in that precarious pit. A bright but downandout vagrant is tapped by a police officer for looking longingly in a pawn shop window at a revolver. A smart retort to the officers question has him carted off to jail for no visible means of support. The following day hes in court hearing 50 dollars or 30 days. Listening to the exchange is cagey lawyer Philip Cagle Robert Douglas, who pays his fine. After a meal and a taxi ride the pair enter the attorneys office, where he explains why. The counselor is the executor of the estate of a wealthy man whom the bum just happens to resemble exactly. The rich man has been missing for seven years minus two weeks and is about to be declared legally dead, which would be inconvenient for the lawyer. Though its unclear why. If David will agree to impersonate the missing man hell be paid 500. Holding out for 5,000 the pair come to terms then ride to a huge house near a cliff belonging to the missing man. During the journey the lawyer adds some information about the mans task. He must fool three people — the mans wife, his brother and the brothers wife. He adds at the end of the trip, just as they arrive: By the way, your brother hates you. David soon finds that it isnt just the brother who is none too fond. His wife Evelyn Viveca Lindfors is more than a little estranged, apparently as a result of the husbands many affairs and general callousness before his disappearance. Fortunately, Evelyn doesnt know that husband Malcolm Taylors most recent affair was with his brothers wife, Nadine Taylor Janis Paige. The impersonation comes off well for some time as David insinuates himself into the family until Nadine notices his hands, which lack some telltale scars. David tells Philip and the lawyer connives to have her meet him at a lonely spot on the estate, then shoves her off the cliff. Things move rapidly ahead from this point, past various confusing scenes that ultimately result in Philip tossing David into the cistern. His plan all along was to continue to act as the executor of the estate in order to control the money. Which, incidentally, makes it somewhat baffling why he wanted to delay the wealthy man being declared legally dead in the first place. Apparently, he needed more time to arrange for Evelyns death. No matter, for David will soon find the will and ability to crawl out of the dry well — but not before discovering the skeletal remains of Malcolm Taylor. He reaches the top just in time to hear the screams of Evelyn, with whom David is now completely besotted. He rushes to rescue her just in time to avoid her suffering the same fate at Philips hands as Nadine. All is confessed to the puzzled police and all resolved, with Taylors wife showing that she now returns Davids feelings.
