Der gläserne Schlüssel (1942)
Durch Korruption hat Paul Madvig es in die amerikanische Politik geschafft. Nun will er der Kriminalität den Rücken kehren und den Reformer Ralph Henry unterstützen, um das Herz von dessen Tochter Janet zu gewinnen. Doch Madvig hat seine Rechnung ohne den Gangsterboss Nick Varna gemacht, der sich an ihm rächen will. Wäre da nicht sein loyaler Freund Ed Beaumont, der Madvig vor seinen Feinden warnt. Doch dieser will von alledem nichts wissen und führt seinen eigenwilligen Kurs fort .
