Polizei greift ein (1953)
Skip McCoy ist ein Taschendieb in New York City und lebt abgeschieden in einer kleinen Fischerhütte am Hafen. Bereits drei Mal von der Polizei verhaftet, muss er befürchten, bei der nächsten Verhaftung lebenslang hinter Gitter zu wandern. In der U-Bahn stiehlt er aus der Handtasche von Candy ihre Geldbörse. Was er nicht weiß: die Geldbörse enthält einen Mikrofilm mit geheimen Material, das amerikanische Kommunisten der Sowjetunion übergeben wollen; Candy soll die Überbringerin des Films sein, von dessen Brisanz ahnt sie allerdings nichts. Beamte des FBI, die Candy beschatten, beobachten den Diebstahl, allerdings kann Skip ihnen entwischen. Während Candy, nachdem sie den Diebstahl entdeckt hat, verzweifelt ihren Ex-Freund und Auftraggeber Joey informiert, begibt sich FBI-Agent Zara zur Polizei, um in der dortigen Verbrecherkartei den Taschendieb identifizieren zu können.
