The Clay Pigeon (1949)

In the grip of a coma's aftermath, Jim Fletcher awakens to find himself embroiled in a web of treason, pinned as a traitor who leaked secrets to the enemy in a war-ravaged Japanese internment camp during the turbulence of World War II. Facing a daunting court-martial, he makes a daring escape from the confines of the hospital, driven by a desperate need to cleanse his tarnished name. His quest for justice draws him to Martha Gregory, a widowed beacon of hope, whose late husband was one of the comrades Jim stands accused of betraying. Joining their cause is Ted Niles, a resilient survivor from the same prison camp, who becomes an invaluable ally in their pursuit of the elusive truth. As they delve deeper, they uncover a sinister plot far more intricate than they had anticipated. Their investigation leads them to a former Japanese prison guard, a stunning $10,000,000 in counterfeit US currency crafted by the Japanese, and a nascent criminal empire threatening to unleash chaos across the sun-kissed landscape of Southern California. 'The Clay Pigeon' is a riveting journey of redemption and revelation, where every stone unturned exposes a new layer of intrigue, and a man's fight for his honor becomes a battle against an impending underworld uprising.
