Governor Grisby is politically ambitious, as are his ruthless right-hand man Blake and Chercourt, an influential lobbyist on their payroll. However, Grisby is actually a wanted murderer named John Williams. Fearing that Williams' fingerprints on file with the FBI will someday be traced back to him, Blake coaxes petty crook Paul Craig to ask his sister Natalie, a clerk for the FBI, steal the Williams file. She now knows too much, so Blake arranges for Natalie to be killed in a car crash. FBI agents Stedman and Donley investigate. Natalie's roommate is Shirley Wayne, another clerk for the FBI. Shirley tells them that when Natalie was visited by Paul at lunch, both looked extremely nervous. Shirley's fiancée is revealed to be Chercourt. She is asked to assume an undercover identity and carry a
handheld radio, as Blake and Chercourt are still trying to find the right file so that the fingerprints can be destroyed. Grisby surrenders when the FBI arrives, and Blake tries to flee on a speedboat but is shot. ==Cast==
