Privatdetektiv Jeff Bailey soll für Gangster Whit Sterling (Kirk Douglas) dessen Geliebte Kathie Moffat zurückbringen. Die ist mit 40.000 Dollar im Gepäck abgehauen. Tatsächlich findet Jeff die Dame, erliegt aber ihrem Charme und brennt mit der angeblich Unschuldigen durch.

Da taucht plötzlich Whit bei ihm auf. An seiner Seite: Kathie...
