Storyline

The retired Judge Fulton has made ??it his task, to resolve the cases in which the perpetrators have escaped justice.

 

Of course he cannot cope with such a task alone, so he comes up with a plan to enlist the help of two men. So he invites Brett Sinclair, an English Lord, and the rich American Daniel Wild into a luxury hotel. Shortly thereafter, the two come together in a dispute, causing a huge fight. That is precisely what the former judge was expecting.

 

It sets the two under pressure. Either they help him in his self-chosen task, or they are imprisoned because of their fight. Since the prison is not an option for the two playboys and millionaires, they opt to help the judge.

 

Their first task: find out if mobster Robert Dupont, considered dead for the past two years, is still alive. The path to the gangster leads the two to his daughter, who is supposed to have a birthmark on a very delicate spot.
