Beautiful young widow Julia Ransom is saved from being murdered on Fishermans Wharf by FBI Agent Cheney Stone, who quickly becomes involved in investigating the recent murder of Julias husband. Meanwhile, Sheriff Dixon Noble in Virginia learns about a woman in San Francisco who bears an uncanny resemblance to his long-lost wife. Nobles inquiry in California overlaps with Stones work as the cases become entwined. The use of two narrators allows for well-paced dialogue. Phil Gigantes cool intonation helps to clarify the narrative and provides credibility to the FBI agent who becomes smitten with the woman he is protecting. Sandra Burr handles the women's voices with a light touch, especially that of Julia, who maintains remarkable calm and confidence, given the frightening circumstances.
