“Joey” (George Raft) arrives in Canada tasked with kidnapping a nuclear scientist on behalf of his nefarious principles. What he finds when he arrives is a rather messy state of affairs as there are already corpses mounting up and that’s attracted the attention of the RCMP’s finest inspector “Leduc” (Edward G. Robinson) who knows that the only thing connecting the deaths so far is the professor “Macklin” (George Dolenz). “Joey” re-assembles his old gang and that includes his ex “Joyce” (Audrey Totter) who is to try a more persuasive approach with the scientist - but one way or the other they are determined to get his secrets or himself. It’s got a bit of an Cold War edge to it, this drama, and as the story develops we can see that the villain of the piece isn’t fully aware of the ramifications of his task, nor of it’s implications for the freedom loving nations of the world, and as the detective gets closer to tracking down who did what to whom and why, a crisis of conscience begins to trouble the unscrupulous gangster and that makes things way more perilous for just about everyone. There is not much jeopardy here and Raft is curiously underwhelming as the thrust of the plot is a little too contained by a more overt political message that rather dragged the story down. Totter also doesn’t really deliver anything substantial and it takes until very near the end before it livens up enough to get Robinson out of his office and into the people smuggling racket. It’s perfectly watchable but hasn’t quite the bite of the usual Raft/Robinson characterisations and falls a bit flat.
