Private detective Michael Shayne investigates a murder trial where a key witness is killed in the courtroom. The detective hides the murder weapon and then tracks it to a professional assassin, only to find the assassin dead with a brooch that points to a nightclub singer and her employer as suspects. The trial takes an unexpected turn when Shayne is allowed to question everyone, including the defense lawyer who has a personal connection to the accused.
