Jim Renart and Dorothy Smith investigate a mysterious series of murders whose victims are made up for the Three Monkeys . Behind it is the unscrupulous Wall Street banker Tom Gerrick. When Jim investigates in the snuff milieu , he himself is targeted by the killer. In his last murder, Tom reports himself as a witness and makes nebulous statements that arouse the investigators' interest. However, he lets his lawyer protect himself.

Since the two investigators get stuck, Dorothy agrees to set a trap for Tom. She plays a romantic interest for him in order to lure him out of his reserve. On a date, however, he shoots Dorothy. When Jim tries to rush to her help, Tom is long gone and instead prepares a trap for Jim: Tom prepares Jim's apartment so that his pregnant wife is hanged when Jim opens the door.
