In this outing Shayne promises his future wife that he will be giving up the detective business and get a regular job.
This doesn't work out as planned and he finds himself trying to locate a bundle of stolen industrial diamonds. He traces the diamonds to a man named Vanderhoefen (Steve Geray). Shayne finds the trail getting cold and soon he loses the diamonds.
After more investigating he again discovers the diamonds and that they are heading for Hawaii on a luxury liner. being industrial diamonds, they have no worth on the gem exchange, but they do have a use for Nazi spies.
Shayne teams up with a FBI man named Juan Auturo O' Hara (George Reeves) to stop the diamonds from entering Hawaii and it almost costs them their lives.
There are a few more twists and turns before all is solved and Mike tries to make amends to his girlfriend. This is another fun little entry in the long running mystery series and a very entertaining one at that. The rest of the cast includes Mary Beth Hughes, Helene Reynolds, and Curt Bois.
So far, the four Mike Shayne films I have written about over the last week or so are the only ones available on DVD. I await the rest of them, and hope it is soon.
