Kay Roberts comes to see radio crime commentator Wally King after the death of Josie, her sister. Josie left home to become a nightclub hostess, only to fall victim to a series of murders covering up a slavery racket.

Wally goes undercover to investigate with the police department's consent after disparaging their work on his radio program.
