Eddie Lang, a decent family man making $27.50 a week, borrows fifty-dollars from Richard Farra in order to take his wife, Mary and two small children on a vacation. He soon finds himself in the merciless clutches of Marra and his loan-shark gang. In desperation he tells his story to the district attorney, J.E.Curtis—only to be shot down on the steps of the Hall of Justice.
