The Devil's Henchman is a 1949 American crime drama film featuring Warner Baxter, Mary Beth Hughes, Mike Mazurki, and Regis Toomey.

He is discovered by a giant of a man, the simple-minded Rhino (Mike Mazurki), who works for the smuggler gang and stops him from investigating further.

Connie (Peggy Converse), the owner of the tavern, tells Tip that night that she wants money to continue keeping quiet about his shady meetings with ship mates at her place.

He calls the police and is questioned by detective Whalen (Ken Christy) about his finding, but he doesn't reveal that he had witnessed Bill's meeting with Tip two nights before.

They suspect that the furs have been removed at sea and never entered the dock, but they cannot determine how the stolen cargo was then delivered to shore to be apprehended by Tip.

Through information from his regular contact, an organ grinder (Julian Rivero), Arno sends a message to the authorities to tell about what is going down, but Connie somehow intercepts it.
