They say that even the strongest man secretly wants to feel wanted, hopes to have some woman take care of him. Well, my cup was running over. I was wanted all right-by the city, county and state police. And there was a woman with a .32 in her tiny hand who was just dying to take care of me. Everywhere I turned, someone was helping me plan what to do with my life: just end it. Me? I'm Shell Scott, the human target for every gun in the State of California. And that's no private eyewash....
Synopsis
Shell Scott. He's a guy with a pistol in his pocket and murder on his mind. The crime world's public enemy number one, this Casanova is a sucker for a damsel in distress. When a pair of lovely legs saunters into his office, he can't help but take the job, even when the case is a killer. Shell knows that every gun in California is pointed at him. He is a hot target for the cops and especially a pretty little lady with a mission and a .32. If every man’s secret wish is to be wanted by somebody, Shell’s wish came true long ago. He is wanted by so many people who wish for nothing more than to see him at the hot end of their gun barrel.
