Michael [Tris Coffin] and his right-hand man Mickey Moran [Tom Neal] loom large in the post-World War II underworld, plotting to steal a shipment of Uranium-238. The heist is technically successful, but one of their henchmen, Blackie [Riley Hill], is captured, throwing a wrench into the operation and raising the stakes for everyone involved.

Radar Patrol, led by Bill Travis [John Howard], dives into the case with relentless energy.
