Plot Summary

John Barrington escapes from an asylum for the criminally insane and finds refuge on the ranch of turkey-raiser Ezra Thompson. Barrington, who has suffered from amnesia, finds his memory returning slightly and he sets out on his mission of learning the truth about whether or not he really murdered his sweetheart and is actually insane. He goes to Los Angeles to visit his oldest and best friend, psychiatrist David Dunbar, who was a witness to Barrington's crime. Dunbar repeats his story to Barrington, convinces Barrington that he did commit the crime, and then betrays him to the police. However, Thompson, Connie Carter and others are not totally convinced of Barrington's guilt. Written by Les Adams

Did You Know?

Edit
Trivia Level Louie's Bar is apparently in the 500 block of South Main Street, as the Gayety Theatre @ 523 South Main is directly across the street, thanks to a rear projection visible in several shots. The names of Randolph Scott and Don Ameche appear on the marquee; it was the Gayety's policy of listing the players rather than the titles of the films, on their readerboard. See more »
Goofs When Ezra tells the Sheriff and others that his turkeys were disturbed about two hours beforehand, it would be expected that they would investigate to try and find tracks where Barrington had been and to see what direction he had taken away from the farm. Instead they just say good night and leave. See more »
