Police captain Michael Buckley sends his policeman son Jimmy to infiltrate the mob headquarters of Big Louie Grenado, who maintains a candy store as a front for his illegal activities, to determine if Louie murdered some rival gangsters. Louie discovers Jimmy's disguise, however, and murders him. Buckley vows to arrest Louie, who has been a thorn in his side for some time, and brings in all the small-time hoods in town for interrogation. When Louie himself comes to Buckley's office, Buckley finds out that Louie is still searching for the son he lost eighteen years ago when his wife died, and Buckley uses this to get to him. He asks for help from Millie O'Dowd, daughter of a deceased cop, who is in love with Joe Riley, a truck driver trapped in the services of Louie's gang. Millie drops hints that convince Louie that Joe is the son for whom he has been looking. Louie's henchman Hugo dislikes Joe because he is not "killer" material and, hoping that Joe will be killed, he tips off police to a hijacking during which Joe will be driving. Buckley sees through this ruse, however, and manages to let the information leak to Louie that one of his men squealed. Louie realizes it was Hugo and kills him, and then tells Joe that he will arrange it so he and Millie can move to Florida, where she has relatives. Under pressure from Buckley, Joe telephones Louie and asks to meet him in Louie's candy warehouse, where Louie, unaware that police are hiding close by, openly admits that he killed Jimmie and Hugo. Louie realizes he has been framed, however, and is shot by Buckley during a gunfight. Buckley immediately orders Joe to go to Florida, and in a last gesture of kindness, reveals to Louie that Joe is not really his son, so that he can die in peace.
