Newspaperman Jim Bannon writes a feature story about a series of murders on a jury that mistakenly found a man guilty. He falls in love with the next potential victim when he goes to warn her. The murderer is a poorly disguised George Macready, in one of his patented raspy-voiced performances. Macready can play these characters in his sleep, which he may have been doing here. Anyway, the police get involved but arrest the wrong man. Can Bannon get the story while saving the girl? One of director Boetticher's least memorable films.
