Wiretapper

Jim Vaus returns from the war and marries his sweetheart Alice. Despite his brilliance as an electronics engineer, he struggles to make a living. He is hired by wealthy Charles Rumson to fix a doorbell, and realizes that his client is a mob boss. When Jim discovers government eavesdropping devices at Rumson's mansion, he rips them out, ingratiating himself to the syndicate. Recognizing Vaus' value, Rumson puts him to work. Before long he is making a fortune, installing wiretaps on the police, and even graduating to a system of electronically fixing the horse races, all the time concealing his criminal activities from his wife. When Alice discovers the source of Jim's income, their relationship is strained to the breaking point. She forces the reluctant Jim to attend a Billy Graham sermon, in a last desperate attempt to save their marriage and Jim's soul.
