Tough cop Broderick Crawford is forced to take an undercover assignment after being duped by a killer impersonating a police officer. He assumes the identity of a hard drinking longshoreman to infiltrate a corrupt union. At the top he finds the killer, who, unaware of his real identity, hires him to kill himself! However, his cover is busted when his real wife gets kidnapped. Beautifully shot in moody black and white by Joseph Walker, quickly paced, unusually plotted and peppered with one-liners from Crawford.
