The film presents itself as a layered psychological thriller centered on how past actions affect future generations; specifically, Dane Clark portrays "Danny Hawkins," the son of a man executed for murder. Having faced rejection and isolation during his childhood, Danny begins to rebuild his life until an accidental altercation results in a death—over a young woman named “Gilly” (played by Gail Johnson), to whom he turns for support. When Gilly urges him to report the incident to the authorities, he panics and runs away. The movie weaves together elements of romance and suspense, alongside thoughtful commentary—particularly from Rex Ingram’s character, "Mose," who reflects on human dignity and moral principles. A minor drawback is that Clark seems somewhat lacking in presence for the central role; a more substantial actor might have been better suited to the demands of the part. Nevertheless, it's an engaging exploration of conduct and evaluation that merits dedicating ninety minutes to.
