Plot

In the dark underbelly of crime, the paths of a gifted young doctor, Niles Nelson, and notorious mobster, Joe Gurney, become entangled in a deadly dance of deceit and danger. After treating a wounded member of Gurney's notorious mob, Nelson finds himself ensnared in the gang lord's ruthless web. His regret is met with cold-blooded retribution, leaving his wife, Carole, a fellow doctor, to bear the brunt of his actions. In a twist of ego and vanity, Gurney kidnaps Bill Stephens, a penniless writer, to pen his criminal memoirs, a chilling testament to his reign of terror. Yet, the cunning mobster plans a sinister fate for Stephens once the biography's final chapter is written. Sensing the looming danger, Carole Nelson uses her courage and intellect to take control of the situation. Driven by the dual motives of saving Stephens and avenging her husband's murder, she embarks on a daring journey into the heart of the underworld. Amidst the shadows, Carole must navigate a treacherous path, where one wrong step could mean death, but the right one might just topple the King of the Underworld.
