John Martin (Humphrey Bogart) is the mob leader of the city after his men win various posts in an election. He vows to make everyone pay him. Hugh Allison is recruited by the governor to clean up the rackets. Martin muscles in on the trucking industry and its clean union.
Bogie has a minor role despite being the main villain. He should get his hands dirty and take over the movie. This really should be a battle between him and the truckers. The movie doesn't need Allison. Overall, it's a pedestrian gangster movie.
