Plot summary
Corruption runs through the city's government and law enforcement, and the racketeer Nick Scanlon has bought officials at several levels. Captain Thomas McQuigg has been transferred to the 7th District Police Station and refuses every attempt to bribe him. District Attorney Mortimer X. Welsh and Detective Sergeant Turk are crooked and make his job nearly impossible. The Crime Commission's chief investigator, Harry Craig, tells the governor that McQuigg means to clean up his district, counting on testimony from Roy Higgins, a deputy prosecutor. McQuigg leans on his honest officer, Bob Johnson, and on reporter Dave Ames, who has an interest in Irene Hayes. McQuigg wants Irene, a nightclub singer, to give evidence against Scanlon, which puts her in danger.
