Ray Mallory, private investigator,
handles a lot of divorce cases that go through
his office. Today is no different when a heartbroken
Mr. Truax walks through his door hoping Ray
Mallory can find evidence that his wife is cheating
on him. Mallory accepts the case and begins
to track down Mr. Truax’s wife working
under the pseudonym, Holly Grail, in the Excalibur
strip club. He later follows her home and photographs
her with her lover. Ray Mallory gladly hands
over the photos to Mr. Truax after a job well
done. Little does he realize that there is more
to this case than a cheating wife.
The man in the photos with
Holly Grail is not just a lover but a senator
running for office. Mallory is shocked by the
discovery and the matter becomes compounded
when he finds out that Holly Grail is not Mr.
Truax’s wife; it has all been a setup
to catch Senator Sterling with another woman.
With his reputation at stake, Ray Mallory begins
an investigation of his own, searching for the
reason why the senator was set up and it seems
that the key to those answers is Holly Grail.
He searches the city for her but she is nowhere
to be found. Ray Mallory does the next best
thing, he searches for Holly Grail’s past
and finds more answers than he could get from
Holly herself. He arranges a meeting between
him, Holly, Senator Sterling’s wife, and
Congressman Joseph Morgan, Senator Sterling’s
opponent in the election. Mallory reveals that
Sterling’s wife and Holly Grail have known
each other before; they both were lovers who
worked for an escort agency when they were in
college. During her career as a call girl, Holly
had managed to get hold of a videotape of her
and Congressman Morgan in a stag party; the
two have been holding the tape over the congressman’s
head to keep him from revealing Mrs. Sterling’s
secret.
Mallory gets back at both sides that have used
him by threatening Morgan with the release of
the videotape of the stag party as well as revealing
Mrs. Sterling’s secret to the public.
They both back off, knowing he can ruin either
of their careers with a simple phone call. Ray
Mallory returns to his office in victory and
finds his assistant, Terry, waiting for him.
The two make love after they find out that they
have feelings for each other after all their
time together. They live happily ever after.
