Meek bookshop owner Paris Minton gets mixed up with trouble in the form of Elana Love, a sexy woman who's being pursued by a murderous ex-con. Paris enlists the help of Fearless Jones in extricating himself from a dangerous bind that Elana has gotten him into. Jones cuts an energetic swathe through the underbelly of 1950s L.A. in his efforts to help Paris.
