Joe Morse (John Garfield) is a corrupt ambitious New York lawyer working for a big-time gambling syndicate. When his monopoly-minded mobster bosses plot to rig the numbers racket on July 4th, thereby bankrupting all small independent operators, Joe finds his loyalties dangerously divided: the scheme, he knows, will ruin his kindly older brother Leo (Thomas Gomez), a small-time bookie who blames himself for Joe's big-time corruption.
