Agenten der Nacht (1942)
New York während des Zweiten Weltkriegs. "Gloves" Donahue ist Boss einer Gruppe professioneller Spieler und ein großer Liebhaber von Käsekuchen aus der Bäckerei des alten Mr. Miller, mit dem seine Mutter befreundet ist. Als dieser von einem Unbekannten erschossen wird, drängt Mrs. Donahue ihren Sohn, nach einer jungen Frau zu suchen, die in ihren Augen etwas mit dem Mord zu tun hat. Die Frau heißt Leda Hamilton, ist Sängerin in einem Nachtclub und stammt aus Deutschland. Ihr Begleiter am Klavier, Pepi, sieht es höchst ungern, dass Donahue mit ihr Kontakt sucht; als Miss Hamilton kurz darauf entführt wird, spürt Donahue sie mit seinen Männern im Auktionshaus eines gewissen Ebbing auf. Dort entdeckt er zusammen mit seinem Freund Sunshine, dass das Unternehmen eine Tarnfirma für eine Gruppe fanatischer Nazis ist, die unter Ebbings Führung gefährliche Sabotageakte planen.
