The Governor asks Eliot Ness if he can help wipe out the mob in a crime ridden area of southern Illinois known as Little Egypt. There, the local syndicate headed by Major Charlie Byron has killed the just-elected reform mayor and are clearly gunning to get rid of the honest Sheriff. Ness is a little pressed with most of his men working on a case in New York so he agrees to send in a new agent, Cam Allison, undercover to infiltrate Byron's gang. Allison is supplied with carrier pigeons to supply Ness with regular reports but his situation becomes dangerous when he's uncovered.
