Paul Marino sets out to expose those who hire and exploit migrant workers.
The likes of Claude Ivy (Keenan Wynn) who promise farm workers $15 a day. Good housing and good food in exchange of hard work.
He makes deals with farmers with each party complaining they will not make a profit from the deal.
It is the poor suckers, the workers who will suffer. Pay is less than $5 a day, the food lousy, housing conditions dire. There is no way out. If you complain, Ivy demands the money for board, lodging and transportation.
Jack Flood is there undercover posing as a farm worker. When Ivy suspects there is a snitch. Billy Joe (Warren Oates) is beaten to death.
Hard hitting and still relevant. Unusually Jack Flood loses it in this story when he realises that he might have indirectly been involved in someone else's death. By doing so he blows his own cover.
