Sailor is notified that a widow/beneficiary of a fifty thousand dollar insurance policy taken out on her husband, never had this husband. Slate gets entangled with the beautiful barrister who handled the insurance and who is, in turn, entangled with a glib-tongued opportunist. She and this opportunist try to get all of the fifty grand they were planning to share. After maneuvering the falling out of triumphs, Slate takes Sailor home.
