When a night patrol spots a man fleeing and throwing a bag into the water, little do they know it is the first clue in a murder investigation. Around the same time, a woman is found dead in the city park, and divers soon recover the discarded bag containing a large sum of money belonging to the victim. Suspicion falls on one of her acquaintances, who admits to having argued with her—but insists he is innocent.
