One night while driving home, ex-convict Gilin collides with defense workers Bill Barry and Mary Dale. Bill's tires are destroyed, and when the insurance company is unable to replace them, Gilin's girl friend Nikki convinces him to exchange Bill's car for the car of Gilin's Chinese servant Tom, who has enlisted in the Army. With government restrictions on rubber in place due to the war, Gilin goes into business stealing and re-selling good tires, then sells tires retreaded with cheap synthetic rubber to used-car lots. When one of Gilin's retreads blows out and causes the death of Mary's brother, Bill and his co-workers are outraged and become determined to find the culprit behind the shoddy tires. Gilin worries that his scheme will be discovered after Bill traces a tire to his lot. Nikki is pressured by Gilin to accept a date with Bill, but pretends not to be able to reach him, then secretly warns Mary of Gilin's murderous intentions. However, Bill goes to see Nikki, intending to ask her about the tire, and falls right into Gilin's trap. Gilin knocks Bill out and plans to kill him with Tom's help, but Tom refuses to participate when he learns that Gilin has been short-changing the war effort for his own gain. Gilin shoots Tom and escapes with Nikki to his warehouse. With his last breath, Tom awakens Bill and tells him to follow Gilin. Bill calls his co-workers and the police, and they raid the warehouse en masse. During the mêlée, Gilin is shot by one of his own thugs, who is appalled that Gilin would kill Tom, a soldier. - TCM
