A
corrupt cop creates all kinds of problems in this crime noir.
The trouble begins when he kills a bookie and then grabs $25,000.
Later he tells his chiefs that he did it because he had to,
but as no one was there to witness the killing, they are forced
to take his word for it. Unfortunately for the bad egg, there
was one witness. Fortunately for him, he manages to kill that
witness. The killing alerts a detective who was once framed
by the crook and another gangster. The detective's investigations
lead him to the bad apple's newly built suburban home, in which
his illicit money is hidden.
