The plot will have you pulling the hair out of your head and yelling at McGraw (the cop who's supposed to be protecting the witness), "just stay in the room with her you moron!" Additionally, McGraw makes a tactical decision that is ethically indefensible and annoying in the context of the film. But, still, it's a fun little movie and Marie Windsor is as entertaining as all get out. She's one of the great noir tough girls.
It's true that there wouldn't be much of a plot if McGraw didn't keep leaving and putting the witness in peril. But this movie might have been even better if McGraw and Windsor had just stayed in the same room and jawed at each other for an hour.
