La 14ª ora (1951)
Il giovane Robert Cosick minaccia di gettarsi dal quindicesimo piano di un grattacielo. Il poliziotto Charlie Dunnigan lo vede e per 14 ore gli parla, nel tentativo di convincerlo a desistere dal suo proposito. Alla fine il giovane verrà salvato. Nel frattempo, tra la folla radunata in strada sotto al grattacielo, si svolgono diversi episodi: i tassisti scommettono sull'ora in cui il giovane si suiciderà, un ragazzo impiegato in un magazzino, Danny, corteggia la giovane impiegata Ruth, conosciuta per caso nella strada, mentre una donna, Louise Ann Fuller, che si trovava in un ufficio per firmare le pratiche di divorzio, osservando la scena decide di riconciliarsi col marito.
