Una bella mujer se debate entre el amor de dos hombres: uno, sin blanca, y el otro, el corrupto dueño de un night club.
El héroe de guerra desahuciado Chuck Scott consigue trabajo como chofer de un gángster llamado Eddie Roman. Chuck no tardará en conocer a la temerosa mujer de su jefe: entonces su vida se convertirá en una pesadilla. La adaptación más controvertida de un relato de Woolrich entre sus seguidores, The Chase está basada en la novela de 1944 The Black Path of Fear, que era, a su vez, un desarrollo del cuento "Havana Night". El guión fue obra de Philip Yordan, que tenía una tendencia a subvertir, o violar, historias de género (ver por ejemplo su western de la Guerra Fría Johnny Guitar, centrado en personajes femeninos), y el film fue dirigido por Arthur Ripley. Ripley era una rara elección para el caso, ya que había trabajado sólo esporádicamente en los márgenes del sistema de Hollywood, y nunca logró un éxito masivo, aunque su último film, Thunder Road (1958), es todavía hoy un film de culto. No era sorprendente que esta combinación de dos talentos excéntricos produjera un film extraño.

Also released as Montana Mike, Heaven Only Knows is an offbeat western with fantasy overtones. Hard-bitten gambling boss Brian Donlevy rules his frontier community with brawn and bullets. To his dismay, Donlevy discovers that he has a guardian angel (Robert Cummings), who shows up in the guise of an Eastern tenderfoot. The angel has been sent from Above to save Donlevy's soul, and to that end encourages the one-time villain to squire a minister's daughter (Jorja Curtwright) rather than his usual dance-hall girls. Donlevy is also given tips on winning against his enemies without resorting to gunplay. The gambler finally redeems himself with Heaven by rescuing the angel from a lynch mob (how can you lynch an angel?) Heaven Only Knows deserves an "E" for Effort for bringing a fresh twist to the venerable western genre.
