Frontier-style justice prevails over law and order once again as private detective Mike Hammer--here played by his creator, Spillane--is forcibly pulled from seven years of alcoholic abandon by his one-time friend, police captain, Peters. The latter wants the streetwise Spillane's
assistance in interrogating the dying Kash, who will speak to no one but him. The resentful Spillane, whose despondency results from the apparent death of his secretary, Velda, years before, gains the desired information, but refuses to give it to authorities, until persuaded by federal agent
Nolan. Kash, it appears, was a fellow agent, murdered by the same weapon that killed a US senator...
