The story

Police Captain Jim Fitzpatrick is a dedicated family man and crime fighter not averse to using violence to fight violence. Although he's been demoted for political reasons, public outcry forces the mayor to take more aggressive action against sleazy gang boss Sam Belmonte, and Fitzpatrick is promoted to police chief. His younger brother, Police Detective Ed Fitzpatrick, allows himself to be seduced by a languorously sexy Belmonte gang moll, Daisy, and needs money to continue the relationship.
