A man tells his two-bit therapist, Dr. Redman (Harold Vermilyea), about a recurring dream in which he murders his rich wife. Later, Redman's secretary, Merl Kramer (Dorothy Lamour), relates the odd dream to neighbor Karl Benson (Dan Duryea), a slimy private investigator. Then the wealthy woman is robbed and murdered, and, since her husband has an airtight alibi, suspicion falls on the shocked Merl, who realizes she's being set up by either Benson, Redman or both men together.

nick s @Nick_S 11/26/2024 Acting wasn't bad but the storyline was pretty weak. The plot was overwrought and improbable. The humour was just distracting. See more 05/11/2013 The Suspects Are A Plenty--Nightmares!! See more 12/20/2009 I was the first person on flixster to rate Manhandled! About the movie: a decent look into the great noir genre. Pretty generic plot and performances, although Hayden is fun to watch. See more Read all reviews
