- Synopsis:
- Rocky (Mark Stevens) and Dan (Edmond O'Brien), war buddies, are prowl car cops on night duty. Dan is a cynic who views all lawbreakers as scum; Rocky feels more lenient. Both are attracted to the radio voice of communicator Kate Mallory (Gale Storm); but in person, Kate proves reluctant to get involved with men who just might stop a bullet. By lucky chance, Rocky and Dan cause big trouble for murderous racketeer Ritchie Garris (Donald Buka); but when he swears vengeance, Kate's fears may prove justified.
