Dixon Steele (Humphrey Bogart) (Mr. Squirrel) is a dynamite screenwriter with a temper on a short fuse.
Wrongfully accused but guiltily obvious, Dixon defends himself from accusations of an alleged murder of a cocktail waitress found in the Hollywood Hills all in the meanwhile turning his relationship rocky with his neighbor/girlfriend Laurel (academy award winner Gloria Grahame).
Bogart is a badass who needs some anger management counseling. Willing to fight at the slightest misstep, external pressures create turmoil with his closest friends and acquaintances - not a great way to continue success in your business, even if he could make a blockbuster out of "the phone book" the movie. Maybe sometimes you shouldn't give in to every impulse.
