Histoire de détective (1951)
L'inspecteur McLeod est attaché au commissariat du 21e district dans la ville de New York. C'est un homme dont la rigidité morale se reflète quotidiennement dans le travail. Il est strict et intransigeant. Si ses collègues policiers, notamment Brody, semblent plus sympathiques, McLeod ignore le sentiment de pitié, ne connaît que la loi et l'applique sans jamais tenir compte de circonstances atténuantes. C'est ainsi qu'il s'acharne sur Schneider, un médecin qui pratique des avortements clandestins. Devant la rage de McLeod, qui va jusqu'à brutaliser Schneider, le lieutenant Monaghan, son supérieur, mène une enquête et découvre que la femme de McLeod, Mary, a fauté avant leur mariage et qu'elle a «effacé» cette erreur de jeunesse précisément chez le docteur Schneider...
