Gangster Bugs O'Hern is murdered in prison and Federal agents Alan O'Connor and Bobbie Reynolds are sent to investigate. O'Hern was a member of a gang suspected of knocking over a string of banks and the mob needed to make sure that Bugs wouldn't squeal. Agents Alan and Bobbie conjecture that nightclub owner Joe Karlotti is the syndicate's kingpin and discover that a major heist is being planned. What they don't realize is that Alan's sister is dating the gunman who has been brought to town to spearhead the robbery.
