Prints for this movie are horrible.
Opens with neat scenes of NY circa 1945. The film is about the flow of narcotics into NY harbor.
The movie is horrible. The music in no way reflects what's going on in the film. It's as if someone stuck a record on. It actually detracts do much from the movie that it becomes annoying.
It's not really a film noir so much as it is a Dragnet like movie
The Plot
Agents Mickey Waters and John Flannery re-team to investigate the theft of medicinal narcotics from the S. S. Florentine.
The vicious gang responsible is headed by the ruthless, but debonair Paul Vicola, who doesn't hesitate to murder anyone who stands in his way. Vicola's girlfriend is garroted when she becomes unreliable, and when go-between nightclub comic Dolly Carney poses a risk, he is thrown from his apartment window.
After Waters is shot and killed trying to break into the gang's Brooklyn-based yacht club front, Flannery decides to go undercover and pose as a San Francicco drug dealer.
The gang is smoked out and after a furious gun battle, Vicola is apprehended and his gang broken.
