action
Gavin St. Claire is a successful lawyer. He and the co-owner of the law firm TJ Harlow prepare the defense of the mafia godfather Frank DeMarco in court.
St. Claire is involved in a car accident in which the stripper Dora Circe is also involved. He gets to know the woman better and lets himself into a love affair with her. Circe is married to Delbert Radley, a man prone to scenes of jealousy and violence.
St. Claire reveals to Circe that he gave the Mafia godfather the name of the woman who turned DeMarco over to the judicial authorities. DeMarco then ordered the witness to be killed. Radley secretly records the story, whereupon he pressures St. Claire and is put out of the way by the latter.
St. Claire finds a box in which Circe has collected newspaper clippings about him. He realizes that the woman planned to meet him. St. Claire threatens her with a knife, whereupon she shoots him. She cries and says she was hoping he and she could be together.
In the final scene, Dora Circe's car collides with that of a university professor. He knows her as Dora St. Claire , one of his students. Harlow is watching from another car.
