After evidence surfaces of an information leak at a major nuclear lab, FBI Agent Dan O’Hara (Dennis O’Keefe) pairs up with Scotland Yard Detective Philip Grayson (Louis Hayward) to track down those responsible. An investigation of the scientists, including the enigmatic beauty Dr. Toni Neva (Louise Allbritton), leads the agents to a Communist Party spy operation in San Francisco, which they must shut down before sensitive state secrets are handed over to the wrong people.

Choose Your Own Double Bill

During Hollywood’s Golden Era, the double bill was a popular concept, offering two films for the price of one ticket.  The second feature — nicknamed B movie — was usually a smaller budget film, with actors lesser known than the studios’ biggest stars.  Columbia was famous for its gritty, inventive B movies, often crime films. In homage to that tradition, we also offer our take on a double bill:

Present your ticket to any one of these four “A” movies  – The Big Heat / Human Desire / In a Lonely Place / The Lady From Shanghai – for a free ticket to any one of the B movies – Murder by Contract / Scandal Sheet / So Dark the Night / Walk a Crooked Mile. 

The two films do not need to be on the same day, and the free ticket can only be redeemed in person at the Box Office.
