Maverick private eyes Kildane and Quayle leave a large agency to work on their own. Their first assignment (pirated from the old firm): retrieve eloping heiress Penelope Hampton...in competition with their former boss Prentiss. Kildane finds Penelope with surprising ease and keeps her one jump ahead of Prentiss with assorted difficulties, but can he avoid a romantic complication with his lovely charge?
The Continental Detective Agency’s star investigator, Eddie Kildane (Rod Cameron), has had enough of his dictatorial chief, Prentiss (Broderick Crawford), so he and partner, Wally Quayle (Frank McHugh) quit (Wally was fired) and establish their own business. Clients are hard to come by when you’re starting out, though, so they steal one from their old boss. The assignment: find and return, unmarried, the client’s run-away daughter.
Crawford is constantly on Cameron’s trail, one step behind here, one step ahead there. This is while Cameron has his hands full with Raines’s attempts to elude him.
