Directed by: Samuel Fuller

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.
