"I loved this great crime drama starring George Raft. Co starring John Hoyt and Dorothy Hart, Raft plays a gruff ex-felon who moves in with his sister to back on his feet. He gets a job in a tire factory, only to find out that half of the workforce is tied into paying back exorbitant and excessive loans by sharks. After a terrible event, Raft's character, Paul, decides to take down the loan sharks and the crime ring that runs the whole show. He has to go undercover, but quickly falls into a cycle of earning quick money and lying to his family.
