Dana Andrews stars as Mark Dixon, a corrupt cop, in this gritty thriller shot on the rain-slicked streets of New York. Already in trouble for his brutal methods, alienated from his colleagues, he pursues a gang leader with vindictive zeal and accidentally kills a possible murder suspect. Realising this will mean the end of his career, he disposes of the body, narrowly escaping discovery. His guilt deepens when he falls in love with the dead man’s beautiful wife, a fashion model (played by Gene Tierney), and her father, an innocent cab driver, finds himself accused of the murder.
