In The Crooked Way, John Payne plays memory-deficient veteran Eddie Rice, who runs afoul of mobster Vince Alexander (Sonny Tufts) and police inspector Lt. Williams (Rhys Williams).

He won't get any help from his wife Nina (Ellen Drew), however, since she is as hostile towards Rice as everyone else.
