Pánico en las calles

La historia

Una noche, en los barrios bajos de Nueva Orleáns, el rufián Blackie y sus amigos matan a un inmigrante que les había ganado jugando al póker. A la mañana siguiente, el doctor Clint Reed del Servicio de Salud Pública confirma que el muerto tenía la peste negra. Para evitar una epidemia que tendría efectos catastróficos, Clint y el capitán de policía Tom Warren tratan de encontrar y aislar a los asesinos. La operación se lleva a cabo en secreto, por miedo a que la población sea presa del pánico. Disponen sólo de 48 horas para conseguirlo.
