Plot – Nora, a young telephone operator from Los Angeles who was dumped by her boyfriend, has dinner with a painter. During the night, the girl drinks too much, blacks out and after a few hours wakes up at the painter's place. The man tries to rape her, but Nora manages to hurl the tongs at him and then passes out. Once awake, she sees the body of the painter on the floor and realizes that he's dead: frightened, she flees leaving her shoes in the apartment. As the police are not able to find the killer, a reporter, Casey Mayo, decides to write an open letter to the murderer, inviting him or her to trust him and get assisted by a famous lawyer.
