Mrs Dolan catches her husband coming out of a shop. Only he died a year ago. So she goes to see Jeff Spencer of the detective agency.
He is reluctant at first to take on the case. Maybe it was a close relative of her husband. Some bereaved wives often claim to see someone who resembles their husband.
As Jeff looks into the case further. He comes across what looks like a clever insurance scam. Mrs Dolan's husband has often assumed another identity, later died for relative low amounts of life insurance. So the companies never look into it that much.
So Jeff also teams up with the life insurance company concerned. There has to be other people involved in the scam, such as a funeral company supplying and burying a body.
A good story that should be harder to do these days. Repeatedly fake your death. It's a lucrative scam that Mr Dolan got involved in.
Jeff is willing to place himself in danger to crack the case. Stuart Bailey only makes a brief appearance. There is a nice cameo from Nancy Kulp as the nosy, sexually starved landlady.
