The story takes place in Montreal and stars Edward G. Robinson as Inspector Raoul Leduc who is called in when a member of the RCMP is killed by a mysterious man who is later found dead in a lake with his hands cut off.
Leduc slowly uncover a plot to kidnap a famouse scientist. The man behind the crime is Eric Hartman (Peter Van Eyck) and he brings in Joey Victor (George Raft) to help get the scientist and take him behind the Iron Curtain.
The plot slowly unfolds and I liked the way it was handled. There were many stories going on at once and they were all brought together to make for a good climax.
Audrey Totter does a very good job as the woman who is supposed to make the scientist fall for her so she can get information, and finds herself suddenly really caring for the guy.
The film moves along well and should please any crime fan. Kino did their usual fantastic job with the Blu-ray. I recommend you check this out.
The rest of the cast includes George Dolenz, William Bryant, John Cliff, Sally Blane, Steven Geray, and Karen Verne.
