Panic in the Streets

While two murdering thugs (Jack Palance and Zero Mostel) in New Orleans try to evade the police after dumping a gunshot victim into the canal in this 1950 black-and-white film in which tension and panic escalate, a concerned doctor (Richard Widmark) with the public health service and a police captain desperately try to find someone who knows the victim, who is carrying a highly-contagious and deadly bubonic plague, to prevent an epidemic.
