In a bold departure from his musical comedy roles, Mickey Rooney plays Little Joe Braun, a brash labor union boss who uses strong-arm tactics to evade a federal corruption probe. Two honest factory-workers-Steve Conchran (Private Hell 36) and velvet-voiced Mel Torme-find themselves caught in the gang lord`s struggle for power, but come to realize they have the power to end Little Joe's reign of terror... if they can survive Little Joe`s attempts to silence them.
A production from Albert Zugsmith (Touch of Evil, School Confidential), the king of the tawdry B-picture, The Operator is a sublime specimen of Cold War-era, highlighted by the special appearances of pop culture icons Mamie Van Doren, Vampira, Jim Backus, and Jackie Coogan.
Tre operai assistono a un incontro tra il loro organizzatore sindacale Joe Braun e un mafioso. E` la prova dei legami esistenti tra sindacato e delinquenza, ma naturalmente per i tre la vita diventa pericolosa, sono testimoni scomodi. Uno rimane ucciso, uno ferito gravemente, il terzo, Bill, viene ricattato con il rapimento del figlio. Bill pero` ritrova il bambino e puo` cosi` fare arrestare tutta la banda.
