Luke Wentworth is a private dick with enough bad habits to keep him stuck to the underbelly of Los Angeles till the trumpets call him home. Maybe sleuthing is a way to serve the greater good, but probably it's just another way to pay off debts and get a little action to boot. Tracking the missing daughter of a local big-shot requires a certain amount of tact that our Wentworth just doesn't have time for. Things will go wrong. People will get hurt. Cats better scat or they'll wind up going splat. Luke is on the job, but the job keeps getting bigger and badder.
