The story

In Los Angeles, trade union lawyer named Walter Deaney kills a burglar in his house. Only an unorthodox plainclothes detective named Mitchell believes that Deaney is guilty of something more than self-defense, but police chief Albert Pallin tells him that Deaney is wanted for "every federal law violation in the book" and is therefore "FBI property." To keep Mitchell away from Deaney, the Chief orders him to stake out the home of James Arthur Cummins, a wealthy man with ties to the mob whose "big scene" is the import and export of stolen merchandise. Mitchell initially is unconcerned with Cummins and focuses primarily on Deaney.
