Synopsis by Hal Erickson
"Incog" is short for "incognito," which is the state in which the heroine finds herself during most of this film. Unable to pay the $5000 mortgage on her father's estate, Nell Carroll (Hazel Dawn) enters into an agreement with the estate's executor. A series of burglaries has plagued a Florida community in which the executor has invested heavily. Going "undercover," Nell joins the criminal gang responsible for the thefts and helps to bring them to justice. She also falls in love with Teddy DeVeaux (Robin Cain), the son of the woman who holds that plot-motivating mortgage.
