A gang of criminals, which includes a piano player and an imposing former convict known as Gruesome, has found out about a scientists secret formula for a gas that temporarily paralyzes anyone who breathes it. When Gruesome accidentally inhales some of the gas and passes out, the police think he is dead and take him to the morgue, where he later revives and escapes. This puzzling incident attracts the interest of Dick Tracy, and when the criminals later use the gas to rob a bank, Tracy realizes that he must devote his entire attention to stopping them.

Gruesome () and his pal Melody () visit Thals laboratory, where Gruesome takes a whiff of the gas and is presumed dead. In the morgue Gruesome revives, escapes from police officer Pat Patton (), and he and Meldoy use the gas to stage a daring bank robbery. Tess Trueheart (), witnesses the robbery and telephones her sweetheart, police detective Dick Tracy (), but the bandits have fled when Tracy arrives. Tracy learns from Doctor I.M. Learned (), that the inventor of the gas, Dr. A. Tomic (), is missing.
