Synopsis:
Duke lures lonesome ladies to Nicky Valdez’s night club in the absence of their husbands, then springs a photo on them for blackmail. If the women have no cash, they leave the keys in their cars and park them in accessible places. When Lamont and Margot investigate the stolen car ring and witness a hit and run involving a car formerly owned by Belle Barden, Nicky arranges for his gun moll, Lola, to kill Lamont. When she fails her assignment, Nicky kills Lola and makes it appear a suicide. The hit and run gains Belle a profit when she inherits from her wealthy late husband, but Nicky finds that Belle was working with his partner, Duke. With the stolen car in his possession, Nicky is bound to take the fall when Belle shoots him dead in self-defense. The Shadow arrives to save Nicky from being murdered and the police arrest the guilty parties finding Duke and Nicky trying to outdo each other in telling everything.
