The film is about a baby photographer on death row in San Quentin State Prison who tells reporters his history. While taking care of his private-eye neighbor's office, he is asked by an irresistible baroness to find a missing baron, which initiates a series of confusing but sinister events in a gloomy mansion and a private sanatorium.

The story is told in flashback from Death Row as Ronnie Jackson (Hope) relates the events to a group of reporters, the events that lead to his predicament.

One day he is mistaken for a detective by a mysterious lady in distress (Lamour) and soon finds himself involved in a murder mystery. (Wikipedia)
