Don Castle, Regis Toomey
Married dance partners Tom and Ann Quinn have had an up and down life. Currently living in New York City, they are on a current down, being unable to find work on the stage. Ann, to make ends meet, teaches at a dance school while Tom hustles for jobs for them. They are trying to earn enough money to make their way to California, where they think they will have greater success finding work as a dance team. A series of unrelated events seem ultimately like good luck, but when combined lead to Tom being charged with murdering a wealthy reclusive neighbor; he is ultimately convicted and sentenced to death. One of the detectives on the case, Clint Judd, knew Ann from before working on the case, as he was one of her students who she had nicknamed Santa Claus for always leaving her generous tips. Knowing Tom didn't commit the murder and was convicted on circumstantial evidence, Ann tries to convince Judd to help her find evidence leading to the real killer, and he agrees for personal affection beyond the outward one of justice. They are working on a time crunch, as Tom is on death row. Ann and Judd's time together in this different setting away from the dance school provides some clues as to the real underlying events in the case.—Huggo
