When insurance investigator Sam Donovan (O'Keefe) arrives to look into the apparent <a href="/wiki/Suicide" title="Suicide">suicide</a>, all clues lead him to suspect murder. The man was shot, but there are no powder burns on the body (which would indicate he was not shot at close range) nor was a pistol found. Unfortunately, no one wants to assist him with the case, including Sheriff Larry Best (Bendix), despite a <a href="/wiki/Double_indemnity" title="Double indemnity">double indemnity</a> clause. It turns out the dead man was universally hated. </p><p>One of the prime suspects is Frank Baker who, on the night of the death when Phillips objected to the marriage, eloped with Phillips' niece. During the investigation, Sam and local girl Anita Weatherby (Britton) are strongly attracted to each other. This causes complications when Anita finds her father's hidden <a href="/wiki/Luger_pistol" title="Luger pistol">Luger pistol</a> (Phillips was shot with a Luger) while searching for a place to store her diary away from her inquisitive younger sister. </p><p>Meanwhile, at the annual town Christmas tree lighting, the residents are grieved to learn that beloved longtime physician Dr. Gerrow has died of a heart attack. </p><p>Finally, Sam plants a false story in the newspaper, stating that he has sent for a chemist to find clues of the killer's identity from the floor of the house where Phillips died. The chemist is due very soon, so Sam waits for the murderer at the scene of the crime. Sheriff Best shows up first, but he knew the story was a fake. Next to arrive is Anita's father, Stu Weatherby, followed by Anita. Sam accuses Stu of the crime, but then realizes from the position of the murderer that he had to have been left-handed, which rules Stu out. Then Sam remembers that Dr. Gerrow was left-handed. Stu confirms Sam's guess. Weatherby came upon Gerrow, just after the doctor snapped and killed the man responsible for so much misery to the townspeople. He talked Gerrow out of turning himself in and took the Luger away. </p><p>Sam finally decides that the town will be better off if Dr. Gerrow's memory is protected, and agrees to report Phillips' death as suicide. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Cast">Cast</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Cover_Up_(film)&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Cast"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1184024115">.mw-parser-output .div-col{margin-top:0.3em;column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .div-col-small{font-size:90%}.mw-parser-output .div-col-rules{column-rule:1px solid #aaa}.mw-parser-output .div-col dl,.mw-parser-output .div-col ol,.mw-parser-output .div-col ul{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .div-col li,.mw-parser-output .div-col dd{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}</style><div class="div-col"> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Dennis_O%27Keefe" title="Dennis O'Keefe">Dennis O'Keefe</a> as Sam Donovan</li> <li><a href="/wiki/William_Bendix" title="William Bendix">William Bendix</a> as Sheriff Larry Best</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Barbara_Britton" title="Barbara Britton">Barbara Britton</a> as Anita Weatherby</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Art_Baker_(actor)" title="Art Baker (actor)">Art Baker</a> as Stu Weatherby</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Ann_E._Todd" class="mw-redirect" title="Ann E.
