Échec au hold-up (1950)
Al Goddard est inspecteur des services postaux aériens. Ses supérieurs l'envoient dans la petite ville de Gary, dans l'Indiana. Un officier vient d'y perdre brutalement la vie, éliminé par des malfrats. Al Goddard rencontre soeur Augustine, seul témoin capable d'identifier un membre de la bande qui a commis l'assassinat. Après avoir interrogé la religieuse, Goddard infiltre le gang en feignant d'être un inspecteur postal passé de l'autre côté de la barrière, tandis que dans l'ombre, la soeur Augustine lui apporte une aide précieuse. Les bandits s'apprêtent à commettre un hold-up dont le butin s'élève à un million de dollars...
