I'm grounded in watching this and "Chicago Syndicate" back to back, I didn't notice much of a difference other than the fact that this plot line surrounds corruption within a union as opposed kill the director mob bosses of "Chicago Syndicate". It features the same type of melodramatic narration, corrupt mob boss's running the union from behind the scenes and the frame of a murder on the union leader Dick Foran who is clearly innocent. It's up to district attorney Brian Keith to clear Foran and find the evidence to pin on the sinister Douglas Kennedy, and with the help of Firenze girlfriend (the always terrific Beverly Garland), he will definitely do his best to accomplish that.
Once again, this relies on cliched dialog, mostly cardboard characters, some great location footage and of course the obligatory chase sequences and shootouts. But the narration rings false, dramatically presented without conviction to try to make the audience think this based on a true story. Had there not been dozens of these movies made throughout the 1950's into the 1960's, some of these would have seemed a bit better than your typical early TV crime drama.
