Storia
Harry Angel, a down-and-out Brooklyn detective, takes on a case to find a man named Johnny Favorite who doesn't want to be found. The investigation leads him through Harlem's desperate streets, jazz clubs of New Orleans filled with smoke, and Louisiana's swamps where he delves into the seedy underworld of voodoo. Along the way, things get nasty as Angel uncovers a pact with the devil, Satanic rituals, and other dark secrets.
