Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Panic in the Streets is a 1950 film directed by Elia Kazan.A man named Kochak, a hoodlum who has illegally entered the United States aboard a tramp steamer, has been in the country (specifically, New Orleans) only a matter of hours. He has already found an illicit poker game, lured there by his duplicitous cousin Poldi. Kochak is up $190 at the poker game when, suffering from flu-like symptoms, he tries to leave. Unfortunately for Kochak it isn't the sort of poker game you're allowed to leave with money in your pocket, so Blackie, the seething psychopath in charge of the game, sends Poldi and his other flunky Fitch (Zero Mostel) after Kochak. When Kochak pulls a knife, Blackie shoots him to death.It turns out that for Kochak, it didn't matter. The authorities pick up his corpse and take it to the morgue, and discover terrifying news: Kochak was suffering from pneumonic plague, a highly communicable and nearly 100% lethal illness. The bullets only shortened his life by about 12 hours. More importantly, Lt. Commander Clinton Reed of the U.S. Public Health Service (Richard Widmark) realizes that pneumonic plague may be on the loose in New Orleans. A seemingly unimportant gangland slaying suddenly becomes hugely important as Reed goes on a desperate hunt for Kochak's murderers, before they spread the plague all over the city.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Jack Palance made his film debut as Blackie, and would go on to play many more psychos and murderers over a long career. Alfred Newman composed the music. | |

Back-Alley Doctor: Strongly implied to be the case with the shady doctor that Blackie calls for Poldi, who obviously is less concerned with helping Poldi than he is with helping Blackie get what he wants. | |

The Black Death | |
| Panic In The Streets / int_b0ae741 | comment |
The Black Death: Pneumonic plague. The more famous bubonic plague, which concentrates in the lymph nodes and killed off a third of Europe in the 14th century, is bad enough. But pneumonic plague is transmitted through the air, so anybody who coughs can infect everyone around, and it has a 100% mortality rate. Reed springs into immediate action while the rest of the authorities drag their feet. | |
