The love story of the film is a very dizzy story, with suspense as the background, so it is even more confusing and unusual. Few people can understand, just like many people only remember the "femme beauty" and the lonely detective. A group of deadly beauties, represented by Betty Joan Perske, wear broad-shouldered clothes. They are very strong, and they want to get around the omnipotent gods and men in the usual detective dramas.

This film is a classic black film with exquisite and symmetrical structure and a compact narrative.
