Cast

Plot

Former G.I. Nick Garcos (Richard Conte) is a tyro trucker bent on extracting revenge from the man responsible for crippling his father: ruthless market operator Mike Figlia (Lee J. Cobb). Along the way he is seduced by siren Rica (Valentina Cortesa) and drawn into the San Francisco produce racket, embroiling him in a web of treachery and heartbreak. A classic, gritty, tough as nails union drama…great.
