action
Police investigator Harry Woltz handled several hundreds of murder cases in his career. He has gambling debts in a casino owned by the Russell brothers. The casino owners suggest that Woltz use his experience and teach John Farrow how to murder without leaving a trace. Farrow wants to use this knowledge to kill his wife Evans. As an alternative, the policeman is threatened with the murder of his colleague Gwen Buckley, with whom he previously had a relationship.
Woltz agrees and develops a plan for Farrow to carry out. He is supposed to lure his wife to the property's guest house with a phone call and shoot her with a gun that is protected from fingerprints with adhesive tape. When he sees Farrow and his wife arguing, he storms the guest house.
Buckley and her partner in the police force lead the investigation. You want to close the case as unsolved after a month, but your supervisor is against it and calls in Woltz. A tailor-made jacket smeared with the blood of the murdered man appears. An anonymous caller reveals to Buckley where the murder weapon was thrown away. It turns out that the jacket and gun belonged to Woltz - who is first suspended from duty and then arrested by Buckley. A flashback shows Woltz storming into the guest house and shooting Evans.
Buckley and Woltz set up a trap for Farrow, who admits he stole the policeman's jacket from his apartment, smeared it with his wife's blood, and dumped it near the crime scene. He also followed Woltz and revealed the location of his weapon. Farrow shrugs a pistol with which he shoots Woltz. Shortly afterwards he is shot by Buckley.
