Donovan (Gene Barry) has a meeting with a confederate and gets chased by some bad guys. Meanwhile, Anne Langley meets with Col. Victor Redmayne (Richard Todd), an agency director, who tells her that her husband wants a transfer.
Upon his release from prison, gangster Dan Varrel (Gene Barry) vows to kill Lois Williams (Nancy Gates), the woman responsible for his brother's death. Catching up to Lois, Dan is surprised to find a lonely, impoverished, and thoroughly depressed young woman who all but begs him to put her out of her misery. Almost instantly, Dan changes his tune and does everything he can to help Lois pull herself out of her doldrums and gain a new lease on life -- but his motives are not entirely altruistic! "Salvage" had been previously dramatized on the radio anthology Suspense, with Burt Lancaster in the leading role. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Gene Barry started as a song-and-dance man, appearing in several long-running 1940s musicals on Broadway. By the 1950s he had switched to film acting, mostly working in second-tier productions, where he was an affordable substitute for Cary Grant. His most popular film was the original War of the Worlds, where Barry played a scientist. He played the federal agent who pursued moonshiner Robert Mitchum in the whiskey noir Thunder Road, and he was a wealthy cad in a plane crash in Back from Eternity.

Gene Barry starred as Bat Masterson, dapper ex-lawman who roamed the west. Masterson's gimmick was a gold-tipped cane that disguised a sword; he ... carried a gun, of course. In real life, William Bartley Masterson had been a deputy of Wyatt Earp.

Gene moved to Los Angeles in 1978 “with $100 in his pocket” and entered the burgeoning Los Angeles fashion industry. He started Bongo Jeans with partner Michael Caruso and helped run the Bongo brand for 15 years, helping it grow into a multi-million dollar company. In 1990, Gene left Bongo to launch his dream, Lucky Brand Jeans, and asked Barry to become his business partner once again. The Goal? To create a denim company without compromise, about great quality and good humor.
