George Sanders is a playboy and detective, usually in that order, who gets involved with jewel thieves in the first entry of the Falcon series. Jewels are disappearing at high society parties, so he takes his current fiance along to one of them to investigate. Mistaken for one of the gang, he is slipped a diamond ring. Soon bodies start showing up and he could be next. The police are not too bright, but he gets help from another young and willing girl. His playboy adventures are tiresome and the mystery not very interesting. It all takes place on rather bland and generic stage sets. It's not the best start to a series which would go on for 12 films, although Sanders would star only in the first four.
