English Summary:
Morally bankrupt Manhattan press agent Sidney Falco (Tony Curtis) is a frustrated minor player who, of late, has been unable to gain mentions for his clients in J.J. Hunsecker's (Burt Lancaster) influential, nationally syndicated newspaper column because of his failure to make good on a promise to break up the romance between Hunsecker's younger sister, Susan (Susan Harrison) and musician Steve Dallas (Martin Milner), an up-and-coming jazz guitarist.[3]
Falco is losing money and clients. Given one last chance by the bullying, intimidating Hunsecker, he schemes to plant a false rumor in a rival column that Dallas is a marijuana-smoking Communist, then encourages Hunsecker to rescue Dallas's reputation, certain that the headstrong boyfriend will reject Hunsecker's favor and end up looking bad to Susan.
Hungarian Summary:
J.J.Hunsecker (BURT LANCASTER) a Globe pletykarovatának vezetője. Szereti dróton rángatni az embereket és szeret visszaélni a hatalmával. Semmi más nem érdekli, csak a siker és a saját karrierje. Susan, a húga szerelmes Steve Dallasba, egy fiatal jazzgitárosba. Hunsecker mindent elkövet, hogy a románcot tönkretegye. A piszkos tervben segítőtársa Sidney Falco (TONY CURTIS), a sima modorú és gátlástalan riporter, aki abból él, hogy a "klienseit" kiteszi az újságba, nevezetesen Hunsecker pletykarovatába. Falco és Hunsecker a sajtót használják fel, hogy bemocskolják Dallast. Csak egy dolgot hagynak ki a számításból: nem igaz, hogy minden és mindenki megvásárolható.
