Plot
Police lieutenant Nick Ferrone explains the work of bail bondsmen. One such man is Vince Kane, a former police detective who worked with Ferrone. When one of his customers, Claude Brackett, is murdered, Kane investigates, not only because of his curiosity as a former cop; he has also fallen in love with Brackett's widow Lucy, an old flame.
