Danger Zone is a 1951 American film noir directed by William Berke and starring Hugh Beaumont, Tom Neal and Edward Brophy. A low-budget second feature, it was distributed by the independent Lippert Pictures.
Claire Underwood hires San Francisco private eye Dennis O'Brien to purchase a saxophone case at a yacht-party auction, but O'Brien is slugged and the case is stolen by Larry Dunlap. O'Brien learns that Claire and Dunlap are rivals in a smuggling racket, and he seizes Claire just as she is about to leave the country with the case and its stolen jewels. He is then framed for the murder of Vicki Jason's husband. With the aid of Frederick Schickler, he proves his innocence when Vicki pulls a gun on her coconspirator and lover Edgar Spadely, another private detective, and Vicki admits her own guilt in the murder of her husband.
