He plans to rob the armored car with three men: Peter Harris (a gambler wanted for murder); Boyd Kane (a cop killer); and Tony Romano (a womanizing get-away driver). When interviewing them, Mr. Big wears a mask so they cannot identify him. They were selected because each has a reason for fleeing the United States. </p><p>The plan includes using a duplicate flower delivery truck. The robbery and pursuit go as planned, with each crook wearing a mask so none can identify each other. The gang arrives in the look-alike floral truck as Rolfe, unaware, drives away. The gang subdues the armored car crew, grabs the money and flees. Mr. Big gives each gang member a torn <a href="/wiki/King_(playing_card)" title="King (playing card)">King</a> playing card. He tells them to hang on to the cards and that, in case something goes wrong and Mr. Big cannot make it, the cards will serve to identify them to whoever he sends. The other members await their payment in Mexico. </p><p>Police arrest Rolfe and try to beat a confession out of him while he maintains his innocence. He is released when his <a href="/wiki/Alibi" title="Alibi">alibi</a> checks out and the real robbery vehicle is found. Rolfe loses his job and decides to find the criminals and clear his name. He finds out Harris has fled the city. Correctly believing he must be one of the robbers, Rolfe pursues him to <a href="/wiki/Tijuana" title="Tijuana">Tijuana</a>. There, Rolfe beats Harris into revealing the gang's meeting place. At the airport police recognize Harris and kill him. Rolfe realizes he can impersonate Harris. In Harris’ luggage, he finds the mask and torn playing card. </p><p>In Borados, Rolfe meets Kane and Romano. Unknown to Rolfe, Mr. Big is there, too. His true identity is revealed to be Tim Foster, a one-time high-ranking <a href="/wiki/Kansas_City" class="mw-redirect" title="Kansas City">Kansas City</a> <a href="/wiki/Kansas_City_Police_Department" title="Kansas City Police Department">police officer</a> who was forced to retire when his name was linked to a scandal. Foster's conversation with Scott, the insurance investigator of the robbery, whom Foster had summoned to Borados, reveals his plan: Foster never intended for his gang to split the money and get away. He will spring a trap on them, pretend he solved the robbery, get the 25% reward for having done so and possibly reclaim his job with the Kansas City police. </p><p>Foster's plan is thrown off when his daughter Helen, a law student, arrives. She tells her father she spoke to the mayor, who agreed to look into the scandal that cost him his job. Foster tells Helen he doesn't want to return. She tells him she met Rolfe and likes him. That night, Rolfe uses a game of <a href="/wiki/Poker" title="Poker">poker</a> as a pretext to show the gang members the torn card. Kane and Romano react, but Foster—knowing Rolfe is not Harris—does not. Soon after, Rolfe catches Romano searching his room and beats him. Romano submits and they agree to cooperate until the money is split. Returning to his room the next day, Rolfe is beaten by Romano and Kane, who have teamed up. Kane knows Rolfe is an impostor because he was in prison with Harris. Helen knocks on the door and some quick thinking by Rolfe compels Romano and Kane to leave them alone. </p><p>Foster, as Mr. Big, writes individual notes to Rolfe, Kane and Romano to meet him on his boat. Before this can happen, Kane and Romano try to ambush Rolfe, who gets the drop on them. He admits he is Rolfe, not Harris, and tells them he insists on getting Harris’ share. Kane and Romano waylay Rolfe and discover he's going to the boat. All three are driven there by Foster, pretending to be going out fishing. They still do not know he is Mr. Big. On board, Rolfe escapes and comes across the money that Foster had made easy to spot. Romano, gun in hand, confronts him. To buy time, Rolfe shows him the money. Romano, planning to keep it all, kills Kane. Foster arrives on the scene but says too much. Rolfe deduces he is Mr. Big and says so out loud. In the gunfight that follows, Foster kills Romano, but not before Romano fatally shoots him. As Foster is dying he tells Rolfe his one wish is that Helen doesn't find out about his duplicity. With his dying breath, he tells Scott that Rolfe was his source and deserves the $300,000 reward for having helped recover the stolen money from the robbery. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Cast">Cast</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Kansas_City_Confidential&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Cast"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1184024115">.mw-parser-output .div-col{margin-top:0.3em;column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .div-col-small{font-size:90%}.mw-parser-output .div-col-rules{column-rule:1px solid #aaa}.mw-parser-output .div-col dl,.mw-parser-output .div-col ol,.mw-parser-output .div-col ul{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .div-col li,.mw-parser-output .div-col dd{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}</style><div class="div-col"> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/John_Payne_(actor)" title="John Payne (actor)">John Payne</a> as Joe Rolfe</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Coleen_Gray" title="Coleen Gray">Coleen Gray</a> as Helen Foster</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Preston_Foster" title="Preston Foster">Preston Foster</a> as Tim Foster</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Neville_Brand" title="Neville Brand">Neville Brand</a> as Boyd Kane</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Lee_Van_Cleef" title="Lee Van Cleef">Lee Van Cleef</a> as Tony Romano</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Jack_Elam" title="Jack Elam">Jack Elam</a> as Pete Harris</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Dona_Drake" title="Dona Drake">Dona Drake</a> as Teresa</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Mario_Siletti" title="Mario Siletti">Mario Siletti</a> as Tomaso</li> <li>Howard Negley as Andrews</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Carleton_Young" title="Carleton Young">Carleton Young</a> as Martin</li> <li>Don Orlando as Diaz</li> <li>Ted Ryan as Morelli</li></ul> </div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Background">Background</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Kansas_City_Confidential&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Background"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p><i>Kansas City Confidential</i> was the only film made by <a href="/wiki/Edward_Small" title="Edward Small">Edward Small</a>'s short-lived Associated Players and Producers, a company formed by Small, <a href="/wiki/Sol_Lesser" title="Sol Lesser">Sol Lesser</a> and Sam Briskin.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-kehr2007_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-kehr2007-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> It was the first of a 13-movie deal Small signed with United Artists in 1952, with ten to be made in the first year.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> John Payne said he owned 25% of the film.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The movie originally was called <i>Kansas City 117</i>, the title based on a police code.
