The Glass Key.

Crooked political boss Paul Madvig is determined to back reform candidate Ralph Henry, for governor. Paul's right-hand man, Ed Beaumont, believes the move is a big mistake and distrusts Janet's motives. She is put off by Paul's crudity and becomes attracted to the more eclectic Ed. When Paul tells gangster Nick Varna that he is cleaning up the city and that he will no longer receive protection from police, Ed grows more concerned.
