THE STREET WITH NO NAME is a Fox production directed by William Keighley in 1948.
The F.B.I. agent Mark Stevens manages to become part of Alec Stiles's gang which is responsible for the last bloody robberies that happened recently in Center City. Just before his first hold-up, Stevens tips off the F.B.I. but Ralph Demory, a bribed police inspector, warns Stiles who cancels the operation. While Stevens is trying to find incriminating evidences against Stiles, Demory is on the verge of discovering Stevens's real identity.
