Chief Fire Marshal Ben Pedley again huffing and puffing when a fire in a Broadway hotel results in the death of a debutante heiress, shacked up there with Estero, a pachuco kid with an arson record. The police have an easy victim in Estero, and only Pedley believes in his innocence, helps to cover him in his hotheaded, quicktriggered retaliation against the murderer..... Drastic.
