Bradford Galt leaves San Francisco for New York, hoping to put a jail term behind him, and opens a private investigator's office with Kathleen Stewart as his secretary. A man in a white suit begins following him, and Galt blames his former partner, Tony Jardine, who moved to the city as well. The man tells Galt he was hired to tail him, and Galt believes Jardine means him harm. Lieutenant Frank Reeves of the New York police keeps after him too. Galt wants to know what Jardine is doing and why he has been singled out, and Kathleen stays with him as he follows the few leads he has.
