Helen Twelvetrees (Helen) marries John Garrick (Steve) but is unaware of his criminal activities. She is also ignorant of the involvement of her brother Frank Conroy (Markham) in the same gang. By marrying Garrick, she unknowingly becomes part of the plans of psycho gang boss Richard Cortez (Goldie). She gradually works things out about her husband and we get a body count.
Whilst the film has scenes that can go on for a little too long as well as being slightly confusing as to what is going on at the beginning, the film does have certain sequences that are memorable after it has finished. And it is this that has just about rescued it from being thrown away as just another time passer. Cortez makes a dangerous and interesting bad guy who is only in life for self-interest. He even has a bust of himself on his desk. Ha ha. Psycho alert! And his HQ has a cool hidden area where a machine gunner is permanently situated on lobby kill duties. Walk in through the lobby - game over. A sequence that sticks in the memory is when Conroy's gang confronts Cortez at this building and go upstairs into his office for a showdown. How on earth are they going to get out of that one? I wouldn't suggest calling him names!
