Appointment With Danger

Al Goddard, (Alan Ladd) special investigator for the U.S. post office, is assigned to collar two criminals whove murdered a postal detective. Goddard must first locate the only witness to the crime, attractive young nun, Sister Augustine (Phyllis Calvert). Posing as a crook, Goddard gains the confidence of the murderers boss Earl Boettiger (Paul Stewart), who has worked out a scheme to defraud the post office of one million dollars. Once theyve tumbled to the deception, the crooks take Goddard and the nun prisoner, leading to a fight to the finish in a lonely industrial district. APPOINTMENT WITH DANGER tends to draw chuckles rather than shivers nowadays, thanks to the casting of future DRAGNET co-stars Jack Webb and Harry Morgan as the murderers -- and as icing to the cake, viewers are treated to a scene in which Webb bumps off Morgan!
