A baffling message scrawled in lipstick on a mutitated prostitute frustrates Detective Pete Swisher. Complicating matters Chief of Detectives, Tom Hardesty, keeps a roll of bills found in the victim's clothes. Both have been skimming drug money, but Swisher balks at robbing stiffs. Matters come to a head when the same message is found on another mutilated prostitute and CIA officer, Bill Williams gets concerned when his daughter, Judith, is innocently involved with her brilliant math professor. Treading forbidden civilian territory Bill unravels the truth about her teacher but is turned aside as just another kook. An angry father plans his own revenge and refuses to help. Swisher turns to Williams despite Hardesty's warning to stay away from the CIA rat. Then they discover Judith is in imminent danger.
