Warning: Spoilers
When the owner of a printing shop is found dead, the District Attorney assumes that it was a suicide.

But the Assistant D. A., Howard Malloy, suspects that there is a connection with an extremist political group called the 'Crusaders'.

When a journalist whose articles had attacked the Crusaders is also killed, Malloy is convinced.

With help from the widow of a prominent judge, he conducts an investigation.

As he does so, he meets a peculiar political boss and also an attractive night club singer, each of whom could become either a source of help or a source of danger.

The print I saw this on was OK. Not great but OK. The transfer seems to drag, speed up, drag, speed up as if it was taken off a TV.

It made it hard to watch.

That said, it's a decent foray into Film Noir.
