Together with his brother (with whom Stanwyck is having the affair), Robinson snatches up land illegally. Glenn Ford plays the pacifist who must engage in guerrilla warfare with the greedy brothers.

Bribery, robbery and an escaped homicidal patient ... just one day in the the life of George Gideon, Scotland Yard’s busy Detective Chief Inspector.
