Adams' supervisor informs her that she will be working undercover for the police, as they suspect Wynn was murdered. Lead inspector Patten (George Brent) thinks Wynn was murdered by someone he knew, but when Patten finds out the victim took out a life insurance policy, he changes his mind and decides that Wynn committed suicide. But all is not what it seems. Nurse Adams sees a mysterious stranger creeping around, accusations fly and the body count mounts. Will Nurse Adams be able to help solve the case?
