Plot Summary: Tough L.A. private eye
Mike Hammer gives a ride to Christina, a frightened young woman he finds
running along the road one night. His car is run off the road by unseen
thugs. Hammer is knocked out and Christina is tortured in an unsuccessful
attempt to get information from her. They are put back into Hammer's car
which then is forced off a cliff. Hammer wakes up in the hospital. Velda,
his trusty secretary, informs him that Christina is dead. Pat Chambers,
Mike's policeman friend, tells him to stay off the case, but Mike thinks it
might be a big story--meaning big money for him--because the FBI is
interested. He, Velda, and Nick, his garage mechanic friend, start
investigating in hopes of finding out why Christina was killed. |
