Summary:
"Robert Taylor plays a crooked lawyer loosely based on real-life Dixie Davis, the lawyer for mob boss Dutch Schultz who later turned informant. In the film, Taylor has become rich from getting gangster Lee J. Cobb's hoodlums out of murder raps. He likes to exploit his crippled leg as a way of gaining juries' sympathies. He is also in an unhappy marriage with a wife who is repulsed by him. He meets a showgirl, gorgeous Cyd Charisse, and they fall in love. When she convinces him to go straight, she's captured by Cobb, who threatens to hurt her unless Taylor continues to do his bidding." -- www.tcm.com
