Raymond (Peter Lawford), a down-on-his-luck gambler, has lost at the track and, since he can't pay his debts, he has to leave town. He answers an ad placed by a Mr. Walter Hendricks (John Williams) that requests an Englishman for information about the old country. As they journey to San Francisco, Hendricks pumps Raymond about every detail that can be told about London. Raymond is not suspicious, however, because he thinks that Hendricks is just an eccentric, homesick Englishman. After going through Hendricks' belongings, Raymond discovers that he is going to inherit $200,000, and he begins to think that maybe he can get rid of Hendricks and collect the money himself. It seems like a perfect plan, but there might be more about Hendricks that Raymond does not know, and it could be trouble. watch
