In 1942, rubber is a valuable commodity during WWII. Eddie Delaney is a second lieutenant in the Army, but also a private detective. Eddie swings into action, when his father, police-sergeant Timothy J. Delaney, is gunned down by rubber racketeers. With the help of his brave friend and radio disc-jockey Linda Ward and police-lieutenant William 'Bill' Decker, Eddie goes after the racketeers. During their search, Eddie, Linda, and Bill must deal with various criminals, like Marty Clark and unscrupulous businessman John J. Underwood, who owns the nightclub "The One Spot."—Robert

Police Sergeant Tim Delaney (Robert Homans) is killed while trying to prevent a gang from carrying out a daring robbery. His son, private detective Eddie Delaney (Damian O'Flynn), goes to work on the case and learns that the gang-leader is Marty Clark ('Jack Larue'), supposedly a reformed gangster who now runs the One Spot Cafe. A few hours later, Marty is shot and killed by a mysterious assailant. Present in the café at the time are five people---all of whom have reasons for wanting Marty Clark to be killed. However, when it is discovered that the murder weapon is a gun that belonged to Eddie's father, police lieutenant Bill Decker (Dick Purcell) orders Eddie's arrest.—Les Adams <[email protected]>
