The Golden Link gets off to a spectacularly violent start when a woman's body plummets into the hallway of an apartment building. It looks like a suicide, but police superintendent Blake (Andre Morrell) suspects murder. Blake is officially "off" the case before long; unofficially, he calmly putters around, asking questions, searching for clues. The chief murder suspects are the victim's husband (Patrick Holt) and daughter (Thea Gregory), both of whom had ample opportunity and motive. It turns out that Blake's instincts were correct, but his initial choice of perpetrators was way off.
