synopsis
Freelance photojournalists Gurney (Carl Reindel) and Bowen (Paul Darby) are determined to do an expose of police brutality. To this end, they dog the trail of Officers Jim Reed (Kent McCord) and Pete Malloy (Martin Milner), hoping to catch the two cops in the act of exceeding their authority--and even trying to provoke Jim and Pete into violence. This particular brand of "ambush journalism" has tragic consequences when Gurney and Bowen interfere in police procedure once too often.
