Summary:
Joseph Rico (De Corsia), head of the syndicate's professional murder squad, has been brought in and put under protective custody after agreeing to testify against crime czar Albert Mendoza (Sloane). Martin Ferguson (Bogart), the district attorney, has spent four years building his case against Mendoza and, with Rico's testimony, he'll be able to send him to the electric chair for mass murder. However, Rico, in terror, escapes and falls to his death. Ferguson seeks to find some tiny clue in the bulk of evidence so as to save his case. Appears to be strongly based on Murder Inc. / by Burton B. Turkus and Sid Feder.
