The story begins when a private detective helps a prostitute being assaulted, and notices that she is wearing a distinctive ring. She is later found murdered and there is no trace of the ring, which turns out to be part of a cache of jewelry stolen by the Nazis during World War II and smuggled out of France after the war by an American army colonel.
