Jim Bradley, an insurance company investigator, on the heels of a two year old, two million dollar payroll robbery, comes to the end of the trail in a west coast resort town. A predatory woman; a husband who is drinking his way out of a sour marriage; a clean college kid- who turns out to be a killer- all lead to the end of Bradley's long vigil and the identification of the money and the criminals...California contemporary- this is a hybrid type of entertainment- still essentially masculine in character- but adding some sultry touches to the sanguine.
