Plot
Julie Barnes, Pete Cochran, and Linc Hayes are three young delinquents who choose to work undercover for the police in place of serving their jail terms.
While investigating a club suspected of running prostitutes, Linc notices their superior, Captain Adam Greer, meeting with Gilbert, a criminal he had encountered at a previous bust. While working as a waitress at the club, Julie runs into an old boyfriend, Billy, who she had dated while both were addicted to drugs, and rekindles their relationship. Linc tracks Gilbert to a meeting with Greer, and the trio arrive just as Greer is murdered by an unseen assailant.
