Dotty Davis belongs to that sub-genre of hard-boiled, sleazy, overweight, boozing, and otherwise disgusting private detectives increasingly offered as protagonists working for the "betterment" of humankind. Nonetheless exhibiting a modicum of charm through her heavy-handed humor, Dotty proceeds to wangle her way out of several murder charges after answering a middle-of-the-night call from the male prostitute downstairs. No sooner has Dotty removed a dead Catholic nun from his bed than someone rigs an explosion which sends the gigolo to the hospital. Soon there are more dead bodies for Dotty to contend with, and both the police and a killer are looking for her.
