The Cop-Killer
The employees at the barbershop Archie Goodwin patronizes are questioned by a policeman after the deaths of two women in a hit-and-run car accident. Two of them, Carl and Tina Vardas, who are in the country illegally, flee to the brownstone and beg Archie to help them. Their overreaction proves to be justified; the cop is soon found stabbed to death in the shop and all suspicions focus on the Vardases.
