Somebody kills the stripper, two old army buddies who are now cop partners set out to discover whodunit. Sgt pretty boy is a white guy. His buddy is Japanese. Now we have the real plot. The stripper getting killed is just the sub-plot used to tell the story of east meets west.
At the beginning of the investigation along comes Chris the female artist, pretty boy falls hard for her and tells everyone he's got it bad and wants wedding bells. Ooopsie. Buddy Japanese pal also falls for her and she falls for him. How to tell pretty boy? Drama ensues and he tells white boy that he and Chris are hot and then more drama as buddy thinks pretty boy is prejudiced but he's not and then Chris tells him he's not but he tosses everything in the suitcase and splits but then they catch the bad guy who killed the stripper but he didn't; some woman who appears out of nowhere did and then the Japanese buddy realizes he was wrong and apologizes to pretty boy but its too late so he and Chris kiss and it's THE END. Whew! Not that bad, guess in 1959 this race/culture thing was very incredibly sensitive and so this was most likely a ground-breaker back then By today's standard though, it's pretty much a soaper.
