In the shadowed alleyways and smoky jazz clubs of the French Quarter, detectives Vic Beaujac (Stacy Harris) and John Conroy (played by actual New Orleans police Capt. Louis Sirgo) investigate the murder of a local showgirl. Their pursuit of justice leads them deep into the city's criminal underbelly, where they uncover a dangerous smuggling ring. Deported mob boss Nick Livorno (Wilson Bourg) has secretly returned, using the Quarter's nightlife to funnel heroin hidden inside cigars. A true treat for viewers, showcasing the French Quarter as it appeared in the 1950s.
