McKibbon discovers that Matt Conroy is a crooked cop, working for Eichelberger, so he demands that he break with the mobster or he'll inform John Conroy of the duplicity. To vindicate himself, it is decided that Matt Conroy will procure a damning file from the D.A.'s office that Eichelberger has requested, but he'll copy it first.

John Conroy's investigation is systematically uncovering Eichelberger's crimes, and in anticipation of having their books subpoenaed, Eichelberger has the building housing them burned. He has callous disregard for the people renting there, and all are killed. An expose of Matt Conroy's murder reveals that Eichelberger had LaRue killed also. His widow Carmelina LaRue can prove this, and contacts McKibbon in order to exact revenge, but is 	The Turning Point (1952 film)

Since McKibbon is the only one that can identify Carmelina LaRue, her husband's murderer Roy Ackerman demands that McKibbon be killed, but Eichelberger refuses. Ackerman hires a hit man himself, and McKibbon is lured to a boxing match where he can be shot. Meanwhile, Carmelina manages to reach John Conroy and her testimony is sufficient, along with already acquired information, to topple Eichelberger. The hired gun shoots McKibbon, and as he lies dying, Eichelberger and his crew are arrested. McKibbon dies before John Conroy can arrive.
