Just after Jimmy McManus's Irish mob wounded Ray lightly and Chris seriously, the chief himself is fatally shot. FBI special agent Frank Morgan conducts an investigation among NYPD, focusing on Sam. His colorful past, an ID found near the murder site and a leaky alibi from neighbor Windy suffice for his arrest, but the colleagues believe in his innocence and stage an escape from the precinct cell. A race for the truth starts, but also a test whether he's sound enough of mind to resist suicide.
