The Story
A police lieutenant's obsession with a syndicate boss and the boss's unhappy mistress drives him to the edge.
Lt. Diamond is determined to topple Mr. Brown, chasing a single clue, the name Alicia, that the gangster guards with torture and murder. Beaten and warned off, Diamond discovers that Alicia is Brown's supposedly dead wife, hidden away and very much alive. As betrayals split the gang and a bomb disguised as cash claims its own, the hunt narrows to an airfield, where a blinding fog lamp finally hands Diamond the man he has chased into the shadows.
