A gang around Charles Anderson wants to rob a money truck from the New York Treasury. To do this, they need the help of the chemist Tommy Wheeler. A second gang watches the preparations for the robbery and forces Wheeler to change sides. Wheeler is hunted as a traitor by Anderson and is killed in a car chase.
The raid itself is proceeding according to plan. Anderson then kidnaps Wheeler's girlfriend Violet in order to get to the man behind him. The kidnapped Violet calls Jerry Cotton for help; however, the phone call is tapped by Anderson, who now thinks Jerry Cotton is Wheeler's accomplice. In truth, it is with Wheeler's backers to the chief inspector of the Treasury, Davis, and his assistant Stanley. Jerry Cotton is arrested while trying to free Violet.
Davis and Stanley can assert themselves against Anderson and his people and take control of the loot; but they pretend to give the gang a third of the booty. Davis however sets a trap for Anderson's men, and they are arrested by the FBI. Anderson himself is shot by Stanley. Davis and Stanley flee with the loot in a helicopter.
