Plot

Small-time gambler Eddie is rejected for military service due to ill health. His girlfriend, Edith, has turned to cop John Cronin to help get Eddie out of trouble. Cronin thinks the hair salon where Edith works is a front for a Nazy spy ring because Dr. Harrison, head of a research institute, keeps visiting it. Eddie's friend Chuck, a pickpocket, steals Harrison's wallet and finds a secret Nazi medallion inside. Frightened, Chuck gives the wallet to Eddie. Cronin tails Eddie, hoping that he'll lead the police to the wallet's owner. After a series of coincidences, Harrison kidnaps Eddie, Chuck, and Edith. Chuck manages to free the trio after picking a gun from Harrison's pocket. The three try to escape in a truck, only to discover that it is loaded with explosives and that Harrison intends to blow up an airplane factory. Chuck and Edith escape with evidence exposing the spy ring, while Eddie sacrifices his own life destroying the truck. The military posthumously awards Eddie a medal for heroism.
