The cast includes Rock Hudson and Julie London. Originally released by Universal Pictures, the film is now in the public domain.
William Castle later called it "a potboiler of little merit, except that I was able to cast Rock Hudson... and to use Emmett Kelly, the Ringling Brothers clown, as the villain."[1]
