Plot
Sleuth Gay Lawrence, known as "The Falcon," with his assistant, "Lefty", arrive at dockside to meet a Latin American cruise ship. On board is Lawrence's brother, Tom, who is pronounced dead, a victim of suicide, by homicide inspector Timothy Donovan. Diane Medford, Tom's shipboard companion offers sympathy, but Lawrence has Lefty tail her, as he already knew that the body in the cabin was not his brother.
