Plot
American detective Steve Marshall goes to Sao Paulo, Brazil, in search of fugitive murderess Louise Dunning. Marshall contacts Louise and she explains that she murdered her husband in self-defense.

Louise decides to remain in Brazil.

Reception
A review in TV Guide describes the film as a "Brazilian quickie," with "an aging Donlevy wasted as a private eye from the States who is tracking a murderer. [...] Not an elegant way for Donlevy to wind down his career." A synopsis of the film at AllMovie describes the Donlevy character as a "gringo gumshoe."
