The Killer That Stalked New York (1950)

In the heart of the bustling metropolis of New York City, Sheila Bennet, a diamond smuggler, returns from a clandestine trip to Cuba. Unbeknownst to her, she carries not only $40,000 worth of illicit diamonds but also an unseen passenger - the deadly smallpox virus. As she navigates the city's dense web of streets, she unknowingly becomes the harbinger of a potential epidemic, her every step sowing seeds of devastation. The city, unprotected and oblivious, is on the precipice of catastrophe. Meanwhile, Treasury agent Johnson, unaware of the impending health crisis, is relentlessly tracking Sheila for her smuggled loot. Adding to the tension, the city's Public Health department, led by the diligent Dr. Wood, struggles to identify the mysterious source of the quickly spreading disease. The clock is ticking as the city's health hangs in the balance, and Sheila, the elusive patient zero, remains free - and infectious. Caught up in her own turmoil, the increasingly sick Sheila is less concerned with the city's plight and more engrossed in her personal drama. She is on a desperate hunt for her faithless husband, Matt, who harbors his own nefarious plans to abscond with the smuggled diamonds. In this thrilling chase against time, the intertwined tales of crime, betrayal, and public health crisis paint a riveting portrait of a city on the brink. The Killer That Stalked New York is a saga of a city under siege from an invisible enemy, a diamond heist gone wrong, and a woman's relentless pursuit of a treacherous love.
