 A frightened woman is running barefoot on a highway, trying desperately to flag a car. After several cars pass her by, the woman sees another car approaching, and to make sure either the car stops, or shes killed, she stands in the path of the oncoming car. Private Investigator Mike Hammer is at the wheel, and after almost hitting the woman, he tells her to get in. The womans name is Christina Bailey. She is obviously on the run, being barefoot and wearing nothing but a trench coat, and the scent of fear. Whoever was after her eventually catches up with them. Christina has information they want, but dies while being questioned. The killers fake an accident by pushing Hammers car off the road, but he survives, waking up in hospital three days later. As Mike starts to investigate Christinas death, hes told by the police to stay out of it, but the hard-nosed private investigator proceeds anyway. Little did he know that Christinas secret would lead to death and destruction.
Awakening in a hospital after being unconscious for three days, Los Angeles private investigator Mike Hammer, a man with somewhat loose professional morals, knows that he was left for dead by whomever tried to kill him and that that murder attempt had something to do with the young woman he picked up on the highway. In their short time together, he had learned that she was a psychiatric hospital escapee named Christina who had been held there against her will. He believes the reason the people were after him and Christina is tied to something big, and with the help of his faithful secretary/girlfriend Velda Wickman, he decides to investigate. In addition to trying to discover exactly who Christina was, Mike will learn that whoever tried to kill him is still after him for information he may have gleaned from Christina in the matter. Velda also discovers that others involved in the matter know about Mike and, following those leads, Mike finds that many tied to Christina are now dead in what seemingly were meant to look like accidents. As such, Mike and Veldas lives, as well as others within Mikes sphere, also are in danger. Ultimately, he will learn the literal and figurative key to discovering what is going on still centers on Christina, and that discovery has potentially apocalyptic repercussions.
