Directed by Anthony Mann
Acting in cooperation, an immigration investigator from Mexico (Ricardo Montalban) and his American counterpart (George Murphy) stage an undercover operation in which the Mexican official will pose as an illegal border-crosser, to monitor the experiences of braceros who enter the U.S. illegally, and sometimes in grave danger. The plot exposes a number of ills and wrongdoers, and quickly enough places the agents themselves in harm’s way.
