Salvage yard operator and part-time sleuth Tak Sweedner is asked by a buddy, Roque Zamarripa, to investigate a murder. Tak says OK and for his trouble is assaulted with a tire iron. Then he's run off the side of a cliff—the investigation really goes downhill at that point!

Tak calls up gal-pal Emma to help him and soon discovers his feelings for the woman go beyond palling around. When she asks him to give up his investigation and concentrate on her, Tak balks. She might better have asked a bulldog to give up its bone. It would be like quitting, Tak said, and he wasn't a quitter.

Eventually, the murderer gets the drop on Tak, Roque and Emma, then escapes after a shootout. Tak comes away from the deadly confrontation even deeper in love with Emma. Can this blue-collar crime-solver hang in there to get the bad guy… AND win his girl?
