The Bowery Boys find a lamp that has strange magic powers.

In this half-hour unsold pilot, private eye Mike Hammer embarks on a righteous quest for vengeance over the death of his newsboy pal in a mob hit.

When the available evidence in a murder case points to a young woman as the main suspect, her boyfriend, a police detective, arranges for a struggling songwriter who is playing piano in a bar to be blamed for the crime. The girl, knowing that neither she nor the piano player committed the murder, helps him to escape from the police dragnet and try to find the real killer.
