Anthony Mann directs this docudrama based on true events. Dennis O'Keefe stars as treasury agent Dennis O'Brien helping bring a counterfeiting ring to justice. Agent O'Brien teams with Tony Genaro(Alfred Ryder)going undercover to be accepted by a Detroit crime mob in order to crack down on counterfeiters in Los Angeles. A two-bit character named The Schemer(Wallace Ford)is used by both the undercover T-Men and crooks before his demise in a steam bath. Charles McGraw is flawless as the moody thug Moxie. This is a fine example of film noir and I would imagine educational as well as entertaining in the mid 40's. This crime drama also stars: June Lockhart, Janie Randolph, Jim Bannon, Art Smith and is narrated by Reed Hadley.
