Contract killer John Wilbur Hardin and Jack Rushton work for a criminal organization led by Philip Marquand. Jack's wife Rena goes into hiding with a floppy disk containing the material that is incriminating the organization. She is asking for two million dollars for the release.

Hardin is tasked with killing Rena by Rushton. It is revealed that Rena and Hardin are having an affair. Rena gets the idea that her lover could kill her twin sister, Kathy Payne, and pass her corpse off as hers. Hardin has doubts because so far he has only killed guilty people. Meanwhile, Marquand Rushton's nephew assigns Roy Burchill to solve the problem.

He later sees Burchill and his people nearby, who think Payne is her twin sister. Hardin defends the woman from the gangsters, some of whom he kills. He and Payne are hiding in a house in the country.
