Plot summary
Silky Fellowsby, a gangster, checks into a hospital as a patient to build himself an alibi for a robbery he is arranging. There he takes two sidewalk photographers, Flash Fulton and Weejie McCoy, for the Detroit hitmen he has engaged, and expects them to watch the bank entrance while his crew works. The pair believe they have been hired to photograph the gang leaving the bank, and after the robbery they are the prime suspects. Their friend Dr. Bill Burns, meanwhile, has been hired to tend Fellowsby at a ski resort in Sun Valley, and the photographers follow them there, taking jobs as waiters to clear their names.
