Insurance investigator Tom Fletcher (Edmund Lowe) is hot on the trail of
an arsonist (please excuse the pun). He is helped along by his dedicated
assistant John Grayson (Onslow Stevens), and to a lesser extent by Fire
Chief Mulligan (Robert Middlemass). Because Fletcher always demands a
huge fee for his services, he finds himself one of the suspects in this
latest rash of deliberate fires. A surprise plot-twist puts Fletcher and
heroine Adrienne Martin (Ann Sothern) on the scent of the real firebug.
This modest Columbia production was distinguished by several
spectacular conflagrations, all of which quickly found their way into the
studio's stock-footage files.
