The Turning Point (1952)
Speciaal aanklager John Conroy hoopt de georganiseerde misdaad in zijn stad te bestrijden en stelt zijn vader, politieagent Matt, aan als hoofdonderzoeker. John begrijpt niet waarom Matt terughoudend is, maar de cynische verslaggever Jerry McKibbon denkt het te weten: hij heeft Matt gezien met maffia-luitenant Harrigan. Jerry's vriendschap met John wordt op de proef gesteld door de vraag wat hij met Matt moet doen, en door zijn aantrekkingskracht op John's meisje Amanda. Ondertussen gebruiken de bedreigde afpersers steeds gewelddadiger verdedigingsmiddelen.
