Shakedown
Jack Early (Howard Duff) in "Shakedown" will do anything to get success. On the strength of his perseverance, he lands a position with a big newspaper, and he makes a reputation for himself by charming a notorious crime leader (Brian Donlevy). Early is mentored by Palmer, but he turns on him and pits him against Colton (Lawrence Tierney). He uses images to coerce Colton into giving him a consistent salary while he romances the paper's photo editor.
