Marko" (Hugo Haas) and his best mate "Ray

"Marko" (Hugo Haas) and his best mate "Ray" (John Agar) head off into the wilderness searching for a lost gold mine. Duly found and riches secured, the former man starts to resent sharing with his younger partner so hits on quite an ingenious plan to be rid of him. When he returns from a supply run to the local town, he brings with him a new wife. "Peggy" (Cleo Moore) is a feisty, no-nonsense woman who is also quite appreciative of her husband taking her from the drudgery of the town. Now the ingeniousness of the plan kicks in. "Marko" hopes that his glamorous young wife and his business partner will fall for each other and that will allow them to catch them flagrante delicto - and all will be his! It's got to be said that being holed up in a remote cabin as the snow sets in tests the mettle of everyone, but will his plan succeed or will they realise they are being manipulated? The problem here is that there's just no chemistry. Anywhere. Moore can't quite decide if she wants to be Doris Day or Barbara Stanwyck and Agar is just straight out of central casting's book of handsome B-stars that deliver just enough but never more. There's something quite sad about the conclusion, and indeed that rather makes the whole thing worth a watch, but I think once will do.

Fools gold

Hugo Haas' first American movie set the pattern for many of his efforts ;"bait" takes again the deadly love triangle of " pickup" and it's another variation on the theme ; the middle-age man ,who,like in the mentioned movie and in "strange fascination ",marries a pretty girl who could be his daughter out of the blue , much to the surprise of the usual handsome young lad.But here it seems that ,more than Cleo Moore's charms, it's gold which is the hero's obsession, the attractive wife playing the role of a bait (check the title) .Hugo Haas had a fancy for enclosed places : the "shacks" in "pickup" and in this movie; his character is not totally cardboard :he might be responsible for his former partner' s death he left in the cold ,but a new partner ,although helpful ,may also be a nuisance when it comes to share the gold .Note also his love for dogs :himself in "pickup ", John Agar here.
