Two more "brushes with crime" for ace private detective Dennis O'Brien (Hugh Beaumont). In the first, he gets mixed up with a crooked wrestling referee, an equally corrupt arena owner and murderous grappler Mike Mazurki. Next is a case involving a murdered cop and film noir's ultimate femme double-crosser, the unforgettable Ann Savage (Detour).
