SYNOPSIS
Insurance investigators go after a ring of truck hijackers.
Peggy Mallory discovers that her husband, Jim, is part of a gang of truck hijackers, when she unknowingly drives the car which helps him and his gang escape. Disgusted, she leaves Jim, and finds work as the cook for artist Bruce Dunning. Initially she does not tell him the truth about herself, and the two fall in love. Eventually, she feels she cannot keep the secret from him and tells him all that has happened to her, after which he promises to protect her.
Meanwhile her husband, who is still in love with her, has tracked her down after seeing a picture of her which was painted by Dunning. He arrives at Dunning's place to retrieve her, and in the confrontation it is made clear that Peggy was not an accomplice.
