The Informer

Gypo Nolan (Victor McLaglen), a drunk and former IRA man in Dublin in 1922, wants one thing, two tickets on a boat to America for himself and his girlfriend. The price is the reward the British are offering for his best friend Frankie (Wallace Ford), who is still in the movement, and Gypo knows where to find him. John Ford follows what the money does to a man who cannot stop thinking about what he sold.
