 David Manners, in a dual role, stars as successful young author Jack Wycoff whose double is the notorious gangster Cy King. Mistakenly arrested, Wyckoff finds himself handcuffed to an attractive lady (Maxine Doyle). Wycoff escapes custody and flees across the country with the law in hot pursuit, refusing to establish either his true identity or his innocence until the lady unwillingly trapped at his side agrees to marry him.
