When Timothy Dane is hired by a ruthless gang of hoodlums to find the killer of their chief, the tough private eye finds himself caught in a crossfire between vicious mobsters, gun-happy cops, and men living by the jungle law of the waterfront—plus a luscious show-girl whose specialty is a certain kind of “private party.”  Dane, as usual, does a swift, tidy job of unraveling the case with some boudoir assistance from Stanzyck’s ex-moll, Roxy Garde.  Roxy was down on the police blotter as “profession unknown,” but Dane knew how the beautiful redhead earned her living. When mobster Al Stanzyck was rubbed out, Roxy decided she’d had enough of hoodlums. So she made a desperate play for Dane. But the night Stanzyck’s toughest henchman turned up at her apartment, ready to take up where the boss left off, Roxy knew she’d have to meet violence with the only weapon a woman has.
