A Los Angeles police captain links the murder of a fellow officer to a bank robbery, chasing the case through the span of a single day. Edward G. Robinson is the detective at the center, carrying the investigation from one lead to the next as a routine shift turns into a hunt for a cop-killer. With Paulette Goddard in the cast, the 1953 film keeps close to the pace and pressure of police work, following the captain as scattered clues, street-level crimes, and departmental urgency begin to converge on the same case.
