[edit] Synopsis
Cricket Blake has a run-in with new hotel guest Marian Summers, a mysterious beauty with a hefty letter of credit. When Tom Lopaka visits Marian, she apologises for breaking Cricket's camera. Lopaka senses she is troubled, but can't convince her to go out with him. Later, a Chicago hoodlum named Miller confronts Marian in her own room. His boss is her former boyfriend, Nick Corday, a gangster chief now facing a federal inquiry. Nick sent Marian to Honolulu with Miller to keep an eye on her.
In spite of her fears, Marian begins a romance with Tom Lopaka, which Miller tries to break up by planting a bomb in Lopaka's car. Security guard Wally is killed instead; Lopaka tracks Miller to his flophouse, but loses him. Miller, meanwhile, has doubled back to the Hawaiian Village Hotel, where he traps Marian in her room. He informs her Nick has ordered her death, but she clouts him with a deskset telephone. Miller is still unconscious when Lopaka arrives to capture him. Tom then goes after Marian, and convinces her to testify against Nick Corday.
