Plot

In the whirlwind of World War II, Horace Jackson (John Beal) and his new bride, Millie (Wanda McKay), trade their small-town tranquility for the pulsating heartbeat of New York City. On the eve of Horace's induction into the army, they steal away to a lavish hotel for a single night of honeymoon bliss. However, the city that never sleeps has a turbulent surprise in store for them. Their clandestine retreat rapidly transforms into a thrilling cat-and-mouse game when notorious gangster Frankie Saxton (Tom Neal) and his menacing henchmen incessantly breach their sanctuary, fervently searching for a hidden cache of loot, stashed away by the elusive mobster Joe Richmond (Lynton Brent). Unbeknownst to them, their naive attempt at privacy, signalled by a "Do Not Disturb" sign hung on the inside of the door, only fuels the intrigue and elevates the stakes. One Thrilling Night weaves a tale where the newlywed innocence collides headfirst with the gritty underworld, spun into a web of gangsters, hidden treasure, and mysterious disappearances. Their dream of a romantic evening is hijacked, leaving Horace and Millie to navigate through a labyrinth of danger and deception. This is not the honeymoon they had planned, but it will certainly be one they will never forget.
