When he murders a police officer it's the beginning of the end for Roy Martin.The film, shot in semidocumentary tone, was loosely based on newspaper accounts of the real-life actions of Erwin "Machine-Gun" Walker, a former Glendale, California police department employee and World War II veteran who unleashed a crime spree of burglaries, robberies, and shootouts in the Los Angeles area during 1945 and 1946. Alfred Werker has director credit, but there were problems during the production and [[Anthony Mann]] was brought in to finish the movie after Werker was fired.
