This movie has a well-worn plot (even for 1953). The police commissioner is on the take and a criminal boss runs the town. Glenn Ford won't give up investigating the suicide of another cop and the subsequent death of a b-girl, so the mob kills his wife (intending to get him). He proceeds to avenge her death.
The great part of the movie is Gloria Grahame. You may remember her from Oklahoma? She plays the gal who just can't say no? She's also in another fav of mine: A Lonely Place with Humphrey Bogart. She is awesome here, and she made the movie worth watching. At a run time of 90 minutes, you could watch it just for her.
