Shakedown

Unscrupulous newspaper photographer Jack Early (Howard Duff) is sent to take a picture of racketeer Nick Palmer (Brian Donlevy), who doesn't like to be captured on celluloid. Palmer takes a liking to Early and asks him to frame his henchmen Colton (Lawrence Tierney). Early double-crosses Palmer and informes Colton that his boss had planned to frame him. Shortly afterward Palmer is killed by a car bomb and Early becomes famous for taking a picture of the event. Eventually Early is himself killed by Colton but he manages to snap a picture of his murderer in the act.
