Darren McGavin stars as a rookie cop who is hired by the District Attorney to go undercover and get information on the mob that a reporter claims in running the entire city.
Brian Hutton plays McGavins partner, Jess, who has a bad case of nerves and gets himself killed by another cop who is himself on the take. After this, McGavins' character gets angry to the point where he himself swears vengeance on the mob. He goes out on his own and this causes his wife to be killed by a boobie trapped phone meant for him.
The ending is very downbeat, as is usual in this kind of film. All of the actors do a great job, and you really get caught up in the story. This film doesn't get too much exposure which is sad because it is a standout of the genre.
The rest of the cast includes Margaret Hayes, Warren Stevens, Peggy McCay, Tol Avery and Nestor Paiva.
