A faded film star asks Detroit PI Amos Walker to get her out of a
relationship with a deadly mobster.
When Amos Walker was a teen, he had a poster of Gail Hope on his wall. A
60s bombshell in the beach-blanket tradition, she has fallen hard since
her glory days as one of the dying studio system's final starlets. But
when she calls on Amos Walker she remains as lovely as ever: an elegant
beauty with a $750,000 problem.
Since her career evaporated, she has played the part of moll to one of
Detroit's big-name gangsters, a powerful man stalked by death. Tired of
a life looking over her shoulder, Hope pawns everything she owns in an
attempt to buy her way out. She entrusts Walker with a suitcase heavy
with cash, and asks him to play delivery boy - a simple assignment that
doesn't take long to turn deadly.
