Louis Hoyt, Jane's wild Irish husband, has traveled the world over on lock and looks and personality. Now he is presumed dead in Red China. Jane alone cannot believe it. So Jane comes to Hong Kong with a few thousand dollars and a great determination to help this man who, for the first time in his life, cannot help himself. From the hotels and embassies to the dives, she follows every slightest lead. Each one points to Hank Lee--the fabulous American whom people either know too well or don't know at all--as the one who might save Louis. Knowing this, disregarding all warnings about the man, Jane seeks him out...and the stage is set for action.
