Jimmy Valentine is the alias of an infamous safe cracker who has just been sentenced to prison for four years for his crimes.

Ben Price, the detective who put him away the first time is called to the case, but although he knows it is Jimmy (because of the style the crimes were committed with) he cannot find him.
