J. Carroll Naish positively oozes immigrant gangster charm in this fairly entertaining thriller
from Paramount. He plays Louis Zonta, an immigrant gangster running a racket that
transports wanted criminals. At their wits end, the authorities send in undercover agent
Bent Martin (Robert Preston) to infiltrate the gang and the young G-Man concocts a plan to
trap Zonta by using the gangster's mistress, Marie Arden (Judith Barrett). The scheme
nearly backfires, but Martin finally manages to gun down the gang leader from his airplane.
