A seasoned insurance investigator must assume a new identity as a doctor to unravel the mystery behind a massive payroll heist.

A group of former prisoners orchestrate a daring heist in an office building, leaving a night watchman dead in their wake. The gang's leader, gravely injured, seeks refuge at his wife's lodge, where an insurance investigator posing as a doctor tends to his wounds. After the leader's recovery, a deaf-mute lodge employee brutally murders the investigator. In the ensuing shootout, the investigator's wife and the authorities manage to apprehend the entire gang.
