Im Namen des Gesetzes (1938)
Ein sehr engagierter Rechtsprofessor wird auf Betreiben eines einflußreichen Bürgers zum Sonderstaatsanwalt ernannt. Um wieder Recht und Gesetz in der von Verbrechern terrorisierten Stadt zur Geltung zu bringen, nimmt er die Nominierung an, ohne jedoch zu wissen, daß jener Bürger der Boß eines Gangstersyndikats ist. Seine Aufgabe scheint unlösbar, da alle aus Angst vor Repressalien der Verbrecher schweigen. Doch die Gangster haben nicht mit der Hartnäckigkeit des Juristen gerechnet.
