Spoilers ahead
Arriving at New York City’s Penn Station from a trip to Cuba, Sheila Bennet, Evelyn Keyes, is smuggling diamonds worth $50,000 into the country and immediately finds herself tailed by authorities. She mails the diamonds to her husband, Matt Krane, Charles Korvin, instead of carrying them herself, and then tries to shake the Treasury agent who is dogging her every move.
Feeling sick, Sheila nearly faints on the street, and a police officer escorts her to a local clinic. There, she encounters a little girl and inadvertently exposes the youngster to danger. Sheila is misdiagnosed with a simple cold, exits the clinic, and later the child is discovered to be infected with smallpox. The misfortune spreads uneasily through the city as officials scramble to contain the illness.
