Le belve della città
Regia
William Keighley
Un poliziotto insubordinato e manesco viene espulso dal corpo. In realtà è una messinscena per permettere al piedipiatti di intrufolarsi nel racket che domina la città. Ci riesce, diventa anzi un "boss" e predispone un piano per mettere in trappola i gangster. Ma il suo luogotenente intuisce il doppio gioco e lo affronta in un duello che si rivelerà per entrambi mortale.
