Mike Vargas, ispettore della polizia messicana e sua moglie Susan, devono interrompere il loro viaggio di nozze per venire a capo dell'uccisione del ricco proprietario Linnekar, avvenuta al confine tra gli Stati Uniti e il Messico.

Nel frattempo Susan viene circuita da un tipo losco, che, ricattando la donna, mira a liberare suo fratello arrestato dall'ispettore messicano.
