- Clean/Unclean
- The mayor attracts Calhoun as his aide, because
Calhoun thinks he has finally found a "clean" politician.
At the end, he discovers that though the mayor is a pretty good man
- he is not clean at all, but participated in fixing a trial and
then stood by while the cover-up took place. Calhoun must decide
whether to "ride out the storm" with the mayor, or stay
clean himself. He encourages the mayor to step down and the movie
ends with Calhoun running himself for councilman. Will he be able to
stay clean?? (submitted by Marie Loewen)
