Pier 23 was one of three hour-long mysteries produced by Lippert Productions for both TV and theatrical release.

He then agrees to help a priest talk an escaped criminal into returning to prison. The film's two-part structure leads to repetition and predictability, but it's fun to watch TV's "Ward Cleaver" making like Philip Marlowe.
