A private eye named Jeff, about to die from a bullet wound, tells the story of how he came to his violent end. In flashback, we see how it all began...
Whit, a gangster with a penchant for robbery, hires Jeff to find a particular double-crossing dame: Kathie, the gal who shot Whit, left him for dead and took off with forty grand. Jeff finds her in Acapulco, but instead of turning her in, he falls in love -- and that's a mistake he never should have made.
