The story

Ruthless union leader "Little Joe" Braun is due to face questioning from a Senate committee. On the night preceding the inquiry, he sends a hit man, Oscar "The Executioner" Wetzel, to kill a witness named Tragg and steal incriminating documents in Tragg's possession at a factory. The union has two very different factions, and one group are surprised to find the other on strike when they arrive at work.
