Face au crime (1956)
Frankie Dane est le leader d’un gang de voyous, les Hornets. Publiquement humilié par Mc Allister, membre d’une bande rivale, il décide de le tuer. Mais seuls deux de ses acolytes acceptent de l’aider, le reste de la bande, effrayé, s’y refuse, notamment son propre frère. La scission provoquée par ce projet fou va mettre la puce à l’oreille de Ben Wagner, un travailleur social, qui tentera de mettre un frein à cette escalade de violence.
