California fraudulence, in which Dix Latham, the mouth for Psychonamics, Inc.- a packaged therapy, is also the frame in the murder of a junior Psychonamic, attends his own funeral and witnesses the burial of the wrong man, and investigates an interlocking crime which will send another innocent to the chair. With little evidence, and little time, Latham is the Judas goat that provokes the wolves to slaughter, confronts and convicts two killers simultaneously...Hollywood hypo.
