Synopsis
Steve Hasting est détective dans une société d'assurance. Il est chargé d’enquêter à la suite de la disparition mystérieuse d'un de ses collègues qui enquêtait au Mexique à propos d'un bijou disparu. On ne sait au départ si le collègue est complice ou victime. La sœur du collègue, Victoria Ames, doit justement se rendre au Mexique, Hasting est donc chargé de l'approcher. On apprend qu'elle a rendez-vous avec son frère à la sortie de l'aéroport, mais ce dernier n'y est pas. En fait une bande de trafiquants de bijoux possédant une boite de nuit à Mexico se sert de Victoria comme appât, persuadés qu'elle les mettra sur la piste de son frère et donc du bijou. C'est d'ailleurs ce qui se passe, le frère a été gravement blessé et est abrité chez une famille de paysans. Hasting et Victoria sont bientôt maîtrisés par les gangsters, mais Hasting réussira à les piéger et l'intervention de la police mettra fin à l'affaire.Actors
