The Green Felt Jungle

Crime busting District Attorney Paul Maytric's (Leslie Nielsen) wife is killed by a car bomb that was meant for him. He quits as DA and becomes a vigilante out for revenge. After a local gangster is killed, Maytric thinks he may be able to tie the murder to mob boss Jack Sallas (Richard Conte), who up to this point in time is 'untouchable'. Sallas has one of the local police, Detective Phil Scanlon (Larry Pennell) in his pocket, who unknown to Sallas is shaking down Elmer Pike (Macdonald Carey) and his casino, and Maytric needs to find out why. Maytric thinks Pike's daughter Elizabeth (Indus Arthur) may be able to help him, and decides to approach her, but is it too late?
