A night club owner is murdered and everybody's a suspect. It's up to reporter Lundigan and cop Toomey to get to the bottom of things. Is the killer mob leader Cortez, who wants to get out of the club business so he can marry Writon and lead a normal life? Maybe it's Carroll, the jealous
sweetie of the mobster, who doesn't want him to leave her and the club. When she's killed, the mystery deepens. A nifty denouement makes this a better than average programmer mystery. Despite a small budget, the actors make the screenplay work and the direction carries them through well.
