Plot
Naïve mining engineer Mike Lambert (Glenn Ford) takes a temporary job driving a truck. When the brakes fail while coming down a steep highway, he steers his way through a small town and is lucky to just dent the pickup of Jeff Cunningham (Edgar Buchanan). Jeff demands Mike's employer pay for the damage, but the man refuses. Mike pays him himself. Later, the police find Mike in a bar and arrest him for reckless driving and having an expired license. A total stranger, barmaid and local femme fatale Paula Craig (Janis Carter), pays his $50 fine. When Mike gets drunk, Paula quits her job and finds him a hotel room. Then she meets with her conspirator, Steve Price (Barry Sullivan), and tells him, "I found him"; a stranger with the same height and build as Steve but who also has no personal connections in the town.・・・・・・・・・・・

1947年のフィルムノワール"Framed"。グレン・フォード主演。
非常に低予算で作られながら、評価が高い。
タイトルのFramedは、無実の罪を受けたとか、わなにはめられたとかいう意味がある。
そのタイトルの通り、グレン・フォード演じるMikeが身に覚えのない殺人事件の濡れ衣を着せられる話。
