This lighthearted mystery finds the recently married Jake (George Murphy) and Helene Justus (Carole Landis) unable to avoid trouble, even on their honeymoon. After the couple witnesses a stage magician's disappearance that isn't part of the act, they enlist their sleuthing lawyer friend, Michael J. Malone (Pat O'Brien), to help them get to the bottom of the vanishing. The clues lead straight to a hotel where a murderer seems to be on the loose, and danger runs amok.
