The police find the body of hostess Helen Howard (Wanda McKay), disposed of by petty racketeer Nick Mantee (Kane Richmond) after she was shot in his Bluejay night club by Benny Nordick (John Gallaudet) because she knew too much about Mantee's rackets. Police Lieutenant Williams (Conrad Nagel) and police Sergeant Tom Ramey (Ralph Byrd) inform the dead girl's parents and sister Nancy (Audrey Long) of the run-away's death. Nancy, inpatient waiting for the police to get a solid case together, signs with the Mercer Agency operated by Nordick, training girls for an excessive sum which they work off as hostesses at the Bluejay Club. Nancy becomes a hostess at the club and after a party for Latin-American night club owner Barda (Anthony Warde), she uncovers evidence that places Helen at the club. She accuses Nick and Benny of the murder and the two mobsters realize they must do away with her.

Nightclub owner Benny Nordick is arguing with his hostess Helen Howard. They fight over his gun and he shots her dead. Petty criminal Nick Mantee offers to cover it up and dumps the body in the streets. Police Lt. Williams and Sgt. Tom Ramey starts the investigation by interviewing the family. Helen's sister Nancy gets involved. Meanwhile, Nick blackmails Benny over the murder. The investigation is too slow. The movie spends too much time with the family. Everything about the cops move at about half a step too slow. Even their walking is a slow mosey. The family is bland. Maybe they could streamline it to just Nancy. The movie slows to a crawl when the cops take over the narrative. Nick is the only truly interesting character. The criminals have some fun. It's the saving grace in an otherwise bland crime drama. The cops need to be more compelling.
