The film asks who truly controls the rackets, pointing the finger at political leaders. When police captain Dan McLaren becomes commissioner, former detective Johnny Blake punches him publicly, convincing crime boss Al Kruger that Blake sincerely wants to join the mob. Meanwhile, “Bugs” Fenner believes Blake is a police informant, and the story follows Blake’s dangerous walk between law and the underworld as the city’s power structure is exposed.
