Who Knew Stamp Collecting Was So Thrilling?
27 February 2024
It's a simple trick to steal some rare stamps at an auction. The girl at the desk, Jeff Donnell, passes them to to Marcel Journet while he writes out a check for another sale, hiding it in his catalogue. He hands it to his mute assistant, Danny Cannon, and then asks Cannon to get him a glass of water. Cannon drops it into an envelope and thence into a mail drop, addressed to Journet. The forgeries ar soon discovered, but Journet has been operating under a fake name and a forged check. But Miss Donnell waits by the mail box and sweet talks post man Warren Douglas into giving her the envelope, promising him a date.

The postal inspectors are sympathetic, but when it's pointed out it's using the mails in a felony, they swing into action by.... telling Douglas he can act as a decoy, which will square the beef.

There are some moments of excitement in this B movie directed by George Blair, mostly caused by Miss Donnell being a headstrong and greedy woman with a gun, but it's B material all the way. With Audrey Long, Richard Benedict, Jimmie Dodd, and Jason Robards Sr.
