“Academy Award winners Edward G. Robinson and Humphrey Bogart star in this story of a brilliant psychiatrist whose fascination with the criminal mind draws him into a life in the underworld as he masterminds a series of daring heists–the story of THE AMAZING DR. CLITTERHOUSE. The good doctor (Robinson) wants to gain a clearer understanding how a thief feels, so–strictly for academic purposes–he cracks a safe during a high society party. Trying to unload the jewels he swiped in the course of his experiment, Clitterhouse meets “”Rocks”” Valentine (Bogart), the tough-as-nails leader of a gang of thieves, and the alluring fence Jo Keller (Claire Trevor). But the research exercise becomes very real when the doctor discovers how much he enjoys crime–and Rocks decides to eliminate the meddlesome academic.”
