Set and principally filmed on-location in Japan, it follows an undercover American agent (Stack) infiltrating a gang of ex-American servicemen operating in Tokyo. The screenplay is an uncredited reworking of the 1948 film The Street with No Name (1948).

The film was released by 20th Century Fox on July 1, 1955.
