Synopsis

Maxwell Carter, an unemployed private detective, accepts an offer from Nan Torr to work as a candid photographer for the scandal magazine, Secret File: Hollywood. His first assignment is to take compromising pictures of director James Cameron with starlet Gay Shelton. Nan and her co-worker, Hap Grogan, blackmail Cameron and then publish the pictures anyway. The scandal causes Cameron's wife to commit suicide. Gay is cleared of complicity in the blackmail scheme, and she joins Carter, who is now working with the police, in trying to uncover the identity of the "Mr. Big" of the exposé racket. As a result of Carter's sleuthing, Hap is killed and Nan is found murdered. Investigating further, Carter finds some tapes on which Nan had received instructions from the mysterious boss of the magazine. Carter recognizes the voice as the one Hollywood news commentator Rutherford Pemberly used years before when he was a radio actor, and with this evidence Carter is able to expose "Mr. Big" and end Secret File: Hollywood.
