Stadt im Würgegriff (1952)
Der Chefreporter einer kleinen Tageszeitung gerät in ein lebensgefährliches Netz des Verbrechens und der Korruption, in das der Polizeichef ebenso wie der Herausgeber der Zeitung und "ehrenwerte Geschäftsleute" verwickelt sind. Gangster versuchen den ganzen Ort in ihre Hand zu bekommen, was der beherzte Journalist unter Einsatz seines Lebens verhindert, indem er vor dem Senat in Washington als Kronzeuge aussagt.
