While unscrupulous con artist Rick Maxon (John Payne) was talking war widow Deborah Owens Clark (Joan Caulfield) into raising money to construct a memorial in her husband's honor, he, of course, intended to bilk her for every penny. That was until he fell in love with her. But Maxon's problems are just beginning, as he's still beholden to Silky (Dan Duryea)-the crook who planned the scam-and having an affair with Silky's gal (Shelley Winters).
