The evening before the start of a Senate Committee probe into racketeering, William Tragg, the treasurer for the Carlton and Son Precision Tool plant, is murdered by Oscar "The Executioner" Wetzel. Wetzel brings Tragg's business papers to union boss "Little Joe" Braun, who is waiting in his car outside of the union hall. Plant worker Bill Gibson and his coworker and friend Fred McAfee witness Wetzel deliver the papers to Braun. At the Senate hearings the following day, Braun repeatedly pleads the Fifth Amendment, despite a formal letter read into the record from the National Labor Federation warning him to comply with the court. When the subpoenaed Tragg and his files cannot be located, Braun is summoned to the court for further questioning. Watching the proceedings on television at home with his wife Mary and Fred, Bill sees Wetzel in the courtroom and believes he recognizes him. Braun is questioned about knowing Wetzel, a well-known ex-convict, and heatedly denies the association, prompting a charge of perjury by the prosecutor.
