Synopsis

In Mr. Victor's Daughter, Richard Diamond, a savvy private detective, is drawn into a perilous situation when he is hired by Mr. Victor, a powerful publisher. Victor is on a mission to expose the numbers racket that has plagued the city for far too long. However, his plans are complicated by the fact that his daughter, Cathy, is romantically involved with Doug Saxon, a man with ties to the notorious numbers racket operator, Aaron Ziegler. Victor fears that Ziegler will use Cathy as leverage to thwart his expose, and he implores Diamond to locate her and keep her safe.
