Rocky fills in on bass at a jazz club and soon finds singer Evie Johnson murdered in a hotel room while Dolores, the drugged ex-wife of musician Johnny Lament, is being framed for the crime. The corpse disappears, but Rocky discovers Johnny hid it in a bass case and murdered Evie because she learned he was dealing narcotics. The investigation also exposes club manager Quaid and musician Bugsy as part of the drug operation, and police recover Evie’s body before the gang can dispose of Rocky.
