When striptease artiste Blossom Terraine is strangled backstage at a burlesque theater, fellow dancer Crystal is suspected of the murder. Crystal's reporter boyfriend Steve turns detective in an attempt to prove her innocence.
Leonard Maltin described it as "low-budget suspenser unstrung backstage at burlesque theater";[4] while TV Guide called it "a standard programmer, racier than most of its type thanks to the burlesque setting. Nonetheless, the dialog and mystery are routine. Acting and production values are adequate for the material."[5]
