Plot
Storyline
While his wife is urging him to quit the force, a Los Angeles homicide detective hunts for the killer responsible for the murder of his ex-partner, who might have been on the take with local bookies.
Police Detective Mike Conovan, for personal and professional reasons, sets out to solve the murder of a fellow detective, in whose pockets is found a thousand dollars cash. He has only two slim clues, but those lead to a fixer and a bookmaker, and the striptease-dancer girlfriend of the bookmaker. The latter, along with Conovan's wife, who wants him off the case as she fears for his safety, cause Conovan some trials and tribulations while he is trying to find the killer.
