HIS KIND OF WOMAN

Down on his luck professional gambler Dan Milner accepts a mysterious job that will take him out of the U.S. for a year but pays $50,000. He accepts a $5,000 advance and tickets to an isolated luxury resort on

Mexico's Baja California coast, where he will receive further instructions. Milner is attracted to the only other passenger on his chartered flight south, attractive young millionaire Lenore Brent. When he arrives, Milner finds that several guests at the lodge have ulterior motives. He is disappointed to find that Lenore is the girlfriend of famous movie actor Mark Cardigan.

Milner overhears two guests, self-proclaimed author Martin Krafft and a man named Thompson, planning something that he suspects involves him. When Milner confronts them, he is given the $10,000 installment due him and told that someone is on his way to Baja to see him. An inebriated man flies in, despite warnings of very dangerous storm conditions. Milner thinks that he must be the contact, but when the two are alone, the pilot identifies himself as Bill Lusk, an undercover agent for the United States Immigration and Naturalization Service. He tells Milner that the government suspects that underworld boss Nick Ferraro, deported to Italy four years earlier, is scheming to return to the country posing as Milner. Milner is a loner whom no one is likely to miss, and Krafft is a plastic surgeon.

Cardigan's wife Helen and his manager Gerald Hobson appear. She has scuppered a halfhearted Reno divorce after discovering she is still fond of her husband. Hobson also thinks that a split is a poor idea because Cardigan's film contract is expiring and the bad publicity would make it hard to get a new one. With her plans ruined, Lenore confesses to Milner that she is really just a singer looking to hook a wealthy spouse. Milner helps a newlywed's husband recoup gambling losses to a card cheat. Lusk reveals Ferraro's plan to Milner, but is caught by Thompson. Finding Lusk's body on the beach convinces Milner that he had been telling the truth.

A yacht arrives in the bay. Milner is captured by Thompson, but passes a veiled plea for help to Lenore before he can be taken aboard. She persuades Cardigan, who is bored at pretending to be a hero, to rescue him. While Cardigan keeps the mobsters at bay with rifle fire, Milner sneaks onto the yacht to capture Ferraro. He is caught and set to be drugged for surgery.

After killing two of Ferraro's thugs and capturing a wounded Thompson, Cardigan mounts an assault with the reluctant assistance of the Mexican police and a couple of adventure-seeking guests. A gunfight ensues aboard the yacht, followed by a melee. Milner breaks free and shoots Ferraro dead. Cardigan and Helen are reconciled. Milner and Lenore cozy up in his bungalow.

Milner is captured by Ferraro but ultimately escapes, aided by Cardigan and others, leading to a deadly confrontation where Milner kills Ferraro and regains his freedom.

The conclusion sees Dan forced to confront Ferraro directly, exposing and ending the gangster’s scheme. Trust is put to the test, but with unexpected allies—and some old-fashioned nerve—the hero prevails. The film resolves its tangles of deception with a decisive act, giving its antihero a shot at both survival and romance.
