A nightclub musician barely able to make ends meet visits his insurance company to obtain a loan against his wife's policy, where he is mistaken for a man who has twice robbed the place. With other circumstantial evidence against him and the lack of an alibi, prospects for Manny Balestrero are not good; his wife Rose frets he is guilty and has a nervous breakdown. Based on a true story.
