Fast-paced story of police detective who fakes a falling out with the department in order to undercover with the mob. The trail leads right to the top of the precinct, but he gets framed for murder before he can expose them. Sent to prison, he fights with and convict and spends time in the hole. He escapes but the witness he was counting on to prove his innocence turns up dead. He kidnaps the governor and frames the crooked cops. Contrived but a lot of fun, almost serial-like in its manic pacing and cliffhanger situations. Memorable quote: "This town is so dirty it crawls".
