Synopsis
While attending the funeral of gang czar Julio Scarlotti, private detective Peter Gunn meets the murdered gangster's likely successor, Nick Fusco. That evening Gunn visits his girl friend, Edie, who is a singer at Mother's waterfront nightclub, and learns that Fusco has upped protection rates to 50 percent of the "take." And Daisy Jane, the owner of an elegant bordello anchored in midriver, has a similar complaint; convinced that Fusco was responsible for Scarlotti's killing, she offers Gunn $10,000 to prove her theory. To assist in the investigation, Gunn pays an alcoholic hobo named Tinker to see what he can learn along the waterfront. Adding to Gunn's already complicated life are the frequent appearances of Samantha, a seductive young brunette who succeeds only in provoking Edie's jealous nature. After several attempts have been made upon Gunn's life, Tinker dies from poisoning by cleaning fluid mixed with alcohol, and Mother's place is blasted by a bomb explosion. Piecing together what clues he has, Gunn's sleuthing leads him to an address belonging to one George Gethers. While searching the mirrored apartment, he is attacked by an assailant armed with a tommy gun. Gunn shoots down his would-be assassin, but before dying, the man identifies himself as Harry Ross and gives Gunn the solution to the mystery: George Gethers is actually Daisy Jane, a transvestite who hoped to eliminate Fusco by framing him for Scarlotti's death. With the case solved, Gunn is reunited with Edie when the luscious Samantha turns out to be the gang czar's daughter who had ingratiated herself with Gunn in an effort to learn the identity of her father's murderer.
