Description

Behind the locked doors of a mental institution resides crooked politico Judge Drake, free from prosecution so long as he pretends to be crazy. To get the goods on Drake, private detective Ross Stewart has himself committed to the asylum as a patient. Meanwhile, reporter Kathy Lawrence, posing as Stewart's wife, acts as his liaison to the outside world.

    The snag with this little pot-boiler is that you have to leave your sense of realism in the foyer. "Judge Drake" (Herbert Hayes) is wanted for questioning by the police, but they can't find him. Meantime, local journalist "Kathy Lawrence" (Lucille Bremer) has an inkling that he has sought refuge in a sanatorium. She engages the help of PI "Ross Stewart" (Richard Carlson) to impersonate an insane patient and establish whether, or not, the elusive judge is inside. Once there, he faces quite a few issues - not least from a particularly sadistic staff including nasty nurse "Larson" (Douglas Fowley) aided by the enormous, and instantly recognisable, Tor Johnson when muscle is required. The plot is just a bit too far-fetched and confused for my liking and it tries to cram so much into an hour that it does justice (if that's the word) to neither the story nor the characters; none of whom are particularly likeable.
