Handlung
Der Ganove Jimmy Corrigan verdient sein Geld mit der Suche nach verschollenen Millionenerben. Seine Geliebte Joan hasst die illegalen Tricks, die Jimmy dabei anwendet. Sie verlässt Jimmy und arbeitet für seinen schärfsten Konkurrenten James J. Wallingham. Der ist zwar auch ein Betrüger, doch er kann seine faulen Tricks besser hinter einer seriös wirkenden Fassade verbergen. Jimmy beschließt, Joan die Augen zu öffnen und Wallingham eine Lektion zu erteilen...
