O Segredo das Jóias
12/05/1950
Quando o inteligente criminoso Erwin "Doc" Riedenschneider é libertado da prisão, ele procura um investidor de cinquenta mil dólares na casa de apostas Cobby para recrutar um pequeno grupo de especialistas e realizar um assalto de milhões de dólares de joias de uma joalheria. Doc é apresentado ao advogado Alonzo D. Emmerich, que se oferece para financiar toda a operação e comprar as pedras imediatamente após o roubo. Doc contrata o arrombador Louis Ciavelli, o motorista Gus Minissi e o pistoleiro Dix Handley para o assalto. No início, o plano funciona como um relógio, mas pequenos acidentes se acumulam e cada parceiro mostra ter sua própria fraqueza fatal. No fundo é um perverso e doentio submundo sujo.
