He is a working-class guy who became a police officer. He developed a relationship with Sid Hudgens (publisher of "Hush-Hush Magazine", a L.A. city scandal sheet) by giving Hudgens information on narcotics busts, for which Hudgens pays him under the table. Hudgens in turn gets Vincennes a position as technical advisor to the TV show "Badge of Honor" (channeling "Dragnet"). This is where the movie comes in. Vincennes gradually awakens to Sid's part in a plot reaching into the L.A.P.D. to take over L.A.'s criminal activity following the incarceration of Mickey Cohen, and joins with Ed Exley to fight it.
