Freibrief für Mord (1954)
Der zynische Polizeibeamte Barney Nolan (Edmond O'Brien) tarnt den Raubmord an einem Buchmacher als Notwehr. Er will mit der Beute von 25.000 Dollar und seiner Freundin Patty (Marla English) ein neues Leben anfangen. Doch auch der Gangster Packy Reed (Hugh Sanders) hatte es auf das Geld abgesehen und bedroht Nolan. Als zudem ein taubstummer Augenzeuge des Mordes auftaucht und umgebracht wird, eskaliert die Situation. In einer dramatischen Flucht versucht Barney, vor den Gangstern und der Polizei zu entkommen.
