The fact that auctioneer secretary Audrey Long has stolen the rare stamp and later manages to retrieve it after duping the mailmen would have made it unnecessary for her to even return to Marcel Journet to receive her promised, but relatively small $5000 cut of the actual full value of the $100,000 stamp. Furthermore, why would Long expect Journet and pay her any upfront money at all before he actually had the stamp in his possession, which she very well knew was not the case? If they'd been more opportunistic, Long and her accomplice Danny Morton could have simply disappeared, laid low for as long as it took for the heat to die off--months or even years--then eventually sell the stamp to any unscrupulous dealer or unwitting collector anywhere in the world--a common occurrence with coins, jewels, rare paintings, etc.

Who Knew Stamp Collecting Was So Thrilling?

It's a simple trick to steal some rare stamps at an auction. The girl at the desk, Jeff Donnell, passes them to to Marcel Journet while he writes out a check for another sale, hiding it in his catalogue. He hands it to his mute assistant, Danny Cannon, and then asks Cannon to get him a glass of water. Cannon drops it into an envelope and thence into a mail drop, addressed to Journet. The forgeries ar soon discovered, but Journet has been operating under a fake name and a forged check. But Miss Donnell waits by the mail box and sweet talks post man Warren Douglas into giving her the envelope, promising him a date.

The postal inspectors are sympathetic, but when it's pointed out it's using the mails in a felony, they swing into action by.... telling Douglas he can act as a decoy, which will square the beef.

There are some moments of excitement in this B movie directed by George Blair, mostly caused by Miss Donnell being a headstrong and greedy woman with a gun, but it's B material all the way. With Audrey Long, Richard Benedict, Jimmie Dodd, and Jason Robards Sr.
