 Cafe owner Stan Fabian (Frank Lovejoy) joins Joanie Daniel (Mari Blanchard) and her "brother" Frank (Richard Denning) in a scheme to unearth a "fortune in stolen gold buried by Frank" in Germany during World War II, and Stan is unaware that Joanie and Frank are undercover agents trying to get a confession from Stan of a murder he committed in Germany. Joanie plays on Stan s love for her, insisting he join the Army and so gain access to the supposed hidden treasure , buried in what is now a U.S. Army reservation. Entrapment is the word used now.
