Plot

Set in a present that feels more like the past, Harry Dobbs is a private detective surrounded by mysterious and dangerous dames. Among them is his angry girlfriend, Doris, and the suspicious women he encounters on his latest case.

In a nightclub, the sultry Miss Dolan hires the private eye to follow her lover, Rick, who might be trying to kill her. The trail takes Harry to women like Mrs. King and Mrs. McGraw, who apparently are wed to the same man.

A female investigator named Stella Wynkowski turns up. Harry teams up with her, never entirely certain whether she is friend or foe. But the trouble really starts when Harry realizes that he is following the wrong guy and then finds out that he is being followed himself.
