Nigel Dennis publie un magazine à scandales. Son personnage se double d'un maître chanteur car, pour chaque histoire scabreuse dont il est l'auteur, il approche au préalable la personne dont le comportement scandaleux est décrit (ou plutôt insinué, pour éviter les poursuites en diffamation) et lui dit qu'il supprimera l'histoire en échange d'une compensation financière. Dans un premier temps, plusieurs de ses victimes décident de le tuer au lieu de payer, mais leurs plans échouent lamentablement. Ils prennent ensuite conscience que, pour protéger leurs secrets aux uns comme aux autres, ils doivent se liguer, mais avec une visée toute différente…
