The Human Jungle
Police procedural film about a police captain assigned to take over a demoralized precinct and turn it around by settling all the unsolved cases, as well as some new tough ones. Danforth is assigned to take over the police department in a section of a large city saddled with juvenile delinquency, petty crimes, graft and also a recent unsolved murder of a strip-tease dancer. Recognizing the laxity of the department, he implements many changes and soon finds himself under fire by the newspapers, the attorney of a racket leader and the denizens of this human jungle. He calls this a cop's war that is the same as a soldier's war, with the difference being that people hate cops. His cause isn't helped after a rookie policeman accidentally kills an innocent bystander. And he has to protect police informer Mary Abbott from Swados, a killer in hire of the man behind the petty mobsters. —Les Adams <longhorn1939@suddenlink.net>
