Spoilers ahead
Movie stuntman Tim Burke [John Lund] is hired by Denno Noonan [Barry Fitzgerald], the “social secretary” for Schuyler Tatlock, a wealthy but mentally fragile heir whose fortune has drawn the greed of relatives. Schuyler’s kin shipped him off to Hawaii to keep him out of sight, and Noonan has enjoyed a comfortable monthly paycheck watching over him. Two years earlier, Noonan had a drunken lapse and returned to find that Schuyler, after striking matches, had started a fire and burned to a crisp. He never notified the family, savoring the steady income instead. Then a telegram arrives ordering the return of Schuyler for the reading of the grandparents’ will, and Noonan hires Tim to impersonate the missing heir.
