Synopsis: Detective Sgt. Charlie Bancroft (Glenn Corbett) and Detective Joe Kojaku (James Shigeta) are close friends as well as partners. While trying to solve the murder of a stripper they both fall for witness Christine Downs (Victoria Shaw) which threatens to tear their friendship apart.
Kitty Cameo (with Catapult): In one scene Charlie is looking for a suspect and on a tip he climbs some wooden stairs leading to the back door of an upper floor apartment. As he reaches the top he quietly approaches the window to look inside. Suddenly a cat screeches and leaps into the scene . . . or rather a cat’s screech is dubbed in and a cat actor is tossed into the scene.
Charlie is startled for a second then continues to listen at the door before breaking the door in. All the while the tabby cat is standing by, watching with mild curiosity.
Final Mewsings: Even cat actors suffer from bad direction.
