Based on Chester Gould's comic strip, Dick Tracy, Detective was the first feature film starring the relentless detective played by Morgan Conway. In this film Dick Tracy tries to solve a series of brutal murders of unrelated victims by the notorious Splitface. Suspects multiply and Tracy works to find the common link before more are killed.
Dick Tracy, Detective and the three sequel movies would all be associated with film noir, that is dramatic, shadowy photographic compositions and exterior scenes filmed at night. Lyle Latell would co-star as Pat Patton and Anne Jeffreys as Tess Trueheart. Mike Mazurki played the roll of Splitface.
