When master criminal Zondakes (Stevens) goes to prison for a three-year stretch, IRS agent Sidney Hagen (Morgan) is sure he can find the million dollars the crook has hidden away; but after two years, Zondakes is about to be released early and Hagen has come up empty. He's convinced that Zondakes stashed his money with a young waitress named Norma Jean Freiberger (Harding) who was a witness at Zondakes' trial and lives in mortal fear of him. Desperate, Hagen calls on young colleague Ray March (Stockwell) who specializes in romancing women to uncover tax frauds. Posing as an out-of-work musician, March uses his considerable charm on Norma Jean and succeeds in locating the missing money. Now, all that's left is capturing Zondakes red handed when he comes calling for his cash.
