Private detective Don Gale (Richard Dix) is employed by an old man (Paul E Burns) to find a young girl he once knew. The girl has an inheritance of two old recordings which are worth a lot of money.
Although supposedly the good guy, Gale often flies close to the edge and he employs a woman to pretend to be the missing young girl so he can find out more about the inheritance. This is when the murders begin and Gale, despite his innocence, is suspect number 1 in the eyes of detectives Taggart (Barton MacLane) and Burns (Charles Lane)...
An enjoyable crime drama with a dark ending. A lot of plot is squeezed into a short running time and there are plenty of twists and swerves.
