Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Action hero William Fairbanks goes "through thick and thin" to trap a gang of vicious drug smugglers. Going undercover, Don Dixon (Fairbanks) heads to the criminals' cabaret hideout in Mexico, where he secures a job as a bouncer. He then falls in love with Miss Morris (Ethel Shannon), even though he suspects that the girl's father is the gang's mysterious Mister Big. But when the suspect himself turns out to be a detective, he joins forces with Don to trap the villains -- and, incidentally, to rescue the heroine from their eeeeevil clutches. It's not for nothing that director B. Reeves Eason's nickname was "Breezy."
