When a dead body mysteriously disappears from its grave and an unknown assailant fires a shot at her, a woman hires a private detective to investigate, introducing him as her new husband.
This is the last in a series of movies in which Lloyd Nolan portrayed private detective Michael Shayne, a character created by Brett Halliday, but the story is actually based on Clayton Rawson's novel "No Coffin For The Corpse".
