The story

Racketeer and mobster Nick Scanlon has managed to buy several of the local government and law-enforcement officials of a large midwestern American city. However, he cannot touch the incorruptible police captain Tom McQuigg, who refuses all attempts at bribery. The city's prosecuting attorney Welsh and state police detective Turk are crooked and make McQuigg's job as an honest officer nearly impossible.
