- The Falcon (George Sanders) finds himself embroiled in a murder when ex-jailbird Moose Malloy (Ward Bond) storms into a nightclub looking for his former showgirl girlfriend, Velma. When the manager refuses to tell Moose where she lives, Moose kills him. The police swarm the nightclub and begin to question the witnesses but the Falcon decides to carry out his own investigation.
