Description by OLDIES.com:
Based on a true story, SHAKEDOWN ON THE SUNSET STRIP perfectly captures an era gone by and transforms a story of corruption into a riveting drama. On the infamous Sunset Strip, an aggressive vice cop's pursuit of a notorious Hollywood madam stirs up a deadly hornet's nest of political scandal.
Los Angeles in the 1940s - a time when everybody had something to sell and a place where every dimly lit street seemed to hide a secret. Eager for a promotion, Sgt. Charles Stoker (Perry King) sees the takedown of the most prominent madam on the Strip (Joan Van Ark) as his fast track up the chain of command. With the help of his partner and love interest (Season Hubley), Stoker catches the Queen of the Strip red-handed. However, he soon learns her political connections make her nearly untouchable. Ignoring the risks to his career - and his life - Stoker pushes harder for evidence to shut down the prostitution ring, until he realizes that his obsession may have gone too far.
