Truck driver Buzz Larkin gets clearance to leave his truck parked overnight on the grounds of the Jarmin Manufacturing Company. During the night, his older brother Whitey and their accomplice Jim emerge from crates on the truck. They assault the watchman, rob the safe of $27,000, and return to their hiding crates in time for the foreman (and Dan Mathews) to permit Buzz to leave the grounds with the truck. Subsequently, Dan learns that Whitey was a convicted safe-cracker and he deduces that the Larkins and their accomplice are the perpetrators. When Dan and his officers arrive at the Larkins' home, Whitey becomes anxious to avoid a return to prison and initiates an armed conflict.
Warren Childs has two female accomplices (Charlene and "The Blonde") who pose as hitchhikers in order to rob male motorists that are carrying large sums of cash. The Blonde steals $2,500 from businessman Doyle Houston, but is forced to shoot and kill him when he tries to fight back. Dan Mathews investigates the murder and traces Childs, Houston, and the two women back to the Highway Motel. When they learn that Houston had left a nearby restaurant with The Blonde, they realize that Childs and both women have been involved in the crimes. Dan trails the three to a remote cabin and captures Childs and Charlene. The Blonde initially eludes Dan, but her distinctive "Midnight Lure" perfume ultimately proves her undoing.
