So, she skips town by hiding in the back seat of a car owned by newspaper reporter Ward Williams (William Wright). And the fun and adventures begin as Ward seeks a good story while keeping a step ahead of her pursuers. Love blossoms.

Panama City private-eye Dan Hammer (Pat O'Brien) is hired by a killer, Charles Hasso (Marc Krah), as his bodyguard. Hasso has stolen a map showing the location of a valuable oil location, and he is now pursued by Eric Molinar (Walter Slezak) and his thugs who want the map. Molinar kills Hasso to get the map, but, unbeknownst to Hammer, the map has been hidden in Hammer's office. Now the thugs wreck Hammer's office looking for the map. When that search fails, they beat up Hammer who has no idea of where the map is. Meanwhile, nightclub singer Maxine (Anne Jeffreys) enters the picture, and she and Hammer become romantically involved. The question is whether or not Maxine is really on Hammer's side in this story of intrigue.
