Le Détective (1968)
Joe Leland est un policier intègre qui défend avec ardeur les valeurs fondamentales de l'Amérique. Mais son couple s'effrite: sa femme Karen souffre de nymphomanie, et Joe décide de divorcer. Lors d'une de ses enquêtes, il met en état d'arrestation un jeune homosexuel, Felix Tesla, coupable d'avoir assassiné son partenaire et le fait condamner à mort. Il assiste lui-même à l'exécution. Peu de temps après, Norma McIver, une jeune femme, lui demande d'enquêter sur le suicide de son mari. Alors, peu à peu, une autre histoire va se faire jour, venant éclairer la première. Au moment où il découvre la corruption d'un de ses supérieurs, il apprend par ailleurs que McIver fréquentait les boîtes d'homosexuels; et le voile va se déchirer, pour lui démontrer la terrible erreur qu'il a commise, lui enlevant d'un coup toutes ses illusions.
