An unemployed drifter, Eric Stanton wanders into a small California town and begins hanging around the local diner. While Eric falls for the lovely waitress Stella, he also begins romancing a quiet and well-to-do woman named June Mills. Since Stella isn't interested in Eric unless he has money, the lovelorn guy comes up with a scheme to win her over, and it involves June. Before long, murder works its way into this passionate love triangle.
Editor's Verdict
"While the movie was released during the holiday season, the plot is a dark crime drama centered on murder, obsession, and deceit. There are no identifiable Christmas settings, thematic elements, or iconography present that would classify it as a Christmas film."
