The Web 1947. Vincent Price, Ella Raines, Edmond O'Brien, William Bendix
Leopold Kroner (Fritz Leiber), formerly of Colby Enterprises, is released after five years in prison for embezzlement. Andrew Colby (Vincent Price), claiming that Kroner has threatened him, hires lawyer Bob Regan (Edmond O'Brien) as a secret bodyguard. Sure enough, Kroner turns up in Colby's room with a gun, and Regan kills him. Then Regan, who sticks around to romance Colby's secretary Noel (Ella Raines), begins to suspect he's been used.
