Ferrone picks up Claude Brackette (Bill Williams), a brokerage clerk, as a suspect in the securities robbery in which a policeman was killed, and Kane goes with him when the detective searches Brackett's apartment, and Kane finds that Brackett's wife, Lucy (Ella Raines), is his former sweetheart. She insists her husband is innocent and pleads with Kane to get him out on bail but she has only $4,000 of the $25,000 needed. A mysterious emissary puts up $12,000 and Kanes, over Farley's protest, makes up the rest from the company's money. Brackett is murdered after his release. For Lucy, Kane investigates and finds that Brackett had dealings with night club owner Jerry McKay (Roland Winters) and a hoodlum named Roy Collins (Robert Gist). Suspecting McKay was in back of the robbery, Kane begins a campaign in which he himself behaves like a crook, and demands a heavy bribe from McKay for his silence. Farley denounces this tactic, and is met by Kane for a payment also, or he will be branded in league with the crooks. 650 0 $a Bail bond agents $v Drama. 655 7 $a Film noir. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Feature films. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Fiction films. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Tetzlaff, Ted, $d 1903-1995 $e director. 700 1 $a Sparks, Robert, $d 1901-1963, $e film producer. 700 1 $a Rackin, Martin, $d 1918-1976 $e screenwriter. 700 1 $a Duff, Warren, $d 1904-1973, $e screenwriter. 700 1 $a Raft, George, $e actor. 700 1 $a O'Brien, Pat, $d 1899-1983, $e actor. 700 1 $a Raines, Ella, $d 1921-1988, $e actor. 700 1 $a Williams, Bill, $d 1915-1992, $e actor. 700 1 $a Backus, Jim, $e actor. 710 2 $a RKO Radio Pictures, $e production company. 710 2 $a Warner Bros.
