An armed robbery in Newark goes bad: one of the gang has been killed and a policeman serious wounded. The participants in the robbery scatter. The leader heads to Seattle, where his brother is an executive at a successful shipping business. The executive agrees to give his brother one last chance, unaware of the Newark robbery. Erskine and Colby are on the trail of the gang members. The question is whether they can complete the chase before the gang's leader masterminds yet another robbery -- this one involving his brother's own business.
