The story

Aircraft factory worker Barry Kane wrongly falls under suspicion of setting fire to his Glendale, California manufacturing plant during World War II, an act of domestic sabotage. Kane believes the actual culprit to be an apparent employee, Fry, whom he encountered earlier. When no one by that name is found to have worked there, Kane becomes the target of a manhunt.
