Cotton is called in to investigate a crime on Broadway because an FBI agent has died while working undercover. Before he has expired he got rid of the booty from a recently committed huge robbery. Where he disposed of it is unknown. All of the culprits are arrested by the FBI but the main villain Costello is soon broken free by a hitherto rivaling gang. His new accomplices presume he knows the location of the booty and he tries to live up to their expectations. The demised agent's girlfriend Cindy realizes she needs protection. Jerry Cotton obliges and stops at nothing to catch Costello.
