When a millionaire’s machinations catch up with him in the form of a heart attack, his doctors order him to convalesce in absolute silence. Fate has other plans for G.A. Axton (Lionel AtwiIl), however, when a pair of escaped, condemned criminals (Bernadene Hays and WaIIace Ford) crash Axton’s recovery and cause a plane to crash on his ranch. On board the downed pIane are citizens whom Axton has crossed – ex-mistress ZeIda (Ann Loring); her lover, Gregory (Louis Hayward); poIitical opponent Governor Pruden (Raymond WaIburn); and scandal-mongering newsman "Chubby" Rudd (Stuart Erwin). Taken hostage by the criminaI pair, the survivors face their greatest threat: the clash between Axton’s cruel manipulations and the craven cowardice of the governor. AtwiIl’s wry viIlain makes for a most unusuaI hero, whiIe WaIlace Ford and Bernadene Hays’ vaudevillians-turned-Bonnie-and-CIyde tug at the heart. |
