The story

To win back his girlfriend, Merle Garland, private detective Michael Shayne (Lloyd Nolan) promises to abandon his profession and takes a job as a riveter at the Thomas Aircraft plant. Shortly after starting, industrial diamonds worth $100,000 are stolen from the plant's safe. Shayne is drawn into the investigation and, using a series of false identities (including Colonel Henry Breckenridge Lee and Theodore Sherman Jr.), traces the diamonds first to the Daisy Bell Dress Company.
