Jane Sawyer is arrested for murder when her husband, Steve, dies while they make love. She swears that it is nothing more than a coincidence, but the police think otherwise since Jane inherits a fortune from her late husband. Tom Forman, Jane’s lawyer, fights hard for her freedom and wins. He is happy with the results and convinced of his client’s innocence until he receives a mysterious call and a videocassette.

The videocassette shows the first time Steve and Jane Sawyer meet. It also shows the two making love in the hotel room. Tom wonders if there was ever more to their relationship than love for sale. He begins an investigation into Jane’s past with the help of a journalist named Sandra Jackson, Tom’s ex-girlfriend. The two exchange more than information when they meet and catch up on old times. Tom learns that Jane was a call girl when she met Steve Sawyer and might still be when he receives an escort advertisement with a picture of Jane on it.

Tom soon learns that there is a connection with the Mafia when Jane is arrested as part of a prostitution ring ran by Freddy DeNitro. Freddy knows Tom through his son, Joey DeNitro; the two went to school together.

Tom finds himself defending Jane again. This time, he is promised half of the twenty million dollars Jane inherited from her late husband. Once the trial is over, he goes over to Jane’s apartment to collect his share.

When Tom arrives at Jane’s apartment he is treated to a sexual reward only to find that he is Jane and Freddy DeNitro’s next victim. A hidden video camera captures Tom and Jane talking about the death of her husband, but Jane makes it appear that Tom helped her kill him. Freddy DeNitro can use the tape to make Tom do what he wants. He is now an accomplice to murder.

Tom appears defeated but he is prepared for Freddy and Jane’s scheme. He called Sandra to have the entire chain of events videotaped to be used on her next broadcast. The videotape also shows Freddy and Jane confessing to conspiring to murder Steve Sawyer, which leads to their arrest. Tom walks away, without the money, but with his pride in tact and a clear conscience.
