The Girl Hunters
Booze-soaked private eye Mike Hammer returns to the field to investigate the disappearance of his secretary, who he fears may be dead.
Mike Hammer, once a renowned private detective, has been on the skids for seven years in hitting the bottle, ever since his associate Velda, with who he was and still is in love, disappeared with the assumption that she was killed.
His situation has affected who was his old friend, Police Captain Pat Chambers, now his frenemy, emphasis on enemy, as many surmise that Pat too was in love with Velda. Their paths cross again when Pat wants Mike brought in as seaman Richie Cole is on his deathbed in suffering from a gunshot wound, the gun used being the same one in the unsolved case of murdered Senator Leo Knapp.
Despite Mike not knowing who Richie is, Richie states that he will talk only to Mike about the shooting. Why Richie wants to talk to Mike is that he, truly an undercover federal agent, states, just before he passes, that Velda, still alive, is involved in the proceedings, her life now in danger.
