Panique dans la rue

L’histoire

Kochak, un émigré venant d'arriver clandestinement par bateau à la Nouvelle Orléans, est assassiné par ses partenaires de poker alors qu'il venait d'empocher la mise et souhaitait se retirer, ne se sentant pas bien. Le lendemain, la police découvre son corps. L'affaire, d'apparence banale, prend des proportions inattendues lorsque l'autopsie révèle qu'il était atteint de la peste pulmonaire (pneumonique). Le Dr Reed, représentant du service sanitaire, et le capitaine Warren vont effectuer une course contre la montre pour retrouver les personnes ayant pu être en contact avec Kochak, en particulier ses assassins, avant que l'épidémie devienne incontrôlable...
