Victor Mature plays Frankie Christopher, a sports promoter who's in the hot seat, relentlessly grilled by a ruthless detective after the murder of a fashion model (Carole Landis) he made famous. Weighing even more heavily against him is the fact that he's in love with the dead girl's sister (Betty Grable). But Frankie's not the only suspect in this taut expose of New York's café society. The detective also obsessively pursues Frankie's partner, a gossip columnist, and hotel night clerk. (official distributor synopsis)
