Knuckles Morgan is not the kind of goon you want to meet on a dark street after midnight. But that's just what happens to law-abiding citizen Joe Downey. Mistaken for one of Knuckles' gangland rivals, Joe is beaten and left for the cops to pick up. Afterward, Joe and his girlfriend begin a perilous hunt to find his look-alike -- a hunt that crosses paths with a predatory blonde who has a penchant for stolen fur coats and a connection to murder.
