Vicki Lynn (Peters) is a waitress who is transformed into a fashion model by press agent Steve Christopher (Reid). When Vicki is murdered, detective Ed Cornell (Boone) tries to blame the crime on Christopher. In fact, the cop knows who the real killer is, but he was so hopelessly in love with the dead girl that he intends to frame the innocent man into the electric chair. With the help of Vicki's sister, Christopher tracks down the real killer and exposes the crooked cop Cornell.
