This Gun for Hire plot
"Lover without a heart...killer without a conscience!"
Cold-blooded hitman and cat lover Philip Raven kills a blackmailer. Raven learns that his client, sneaky nightclub owner Willard Gates, has paid him with marked money. By chance, Raven finds out that the police, led by Detective Michael Crane, are after him for that reason. Raven, in addition to evading the police, tries to take revenge on Gates. His path crosses that of the attractive blonde Ellen Graham, who works as a singer at Gates' nightclub. Ellen keeps an eye on Gates at the request of Senator Burnett, because he suspects he is working for the Nazis. Things get complicated for Raven, but also for Ellen, when Raven learns she's engaged to Michael Crane. Ellen will have to work with Raven, who has now taken her hostage, to try to survive.
