The story

Ed Hutcheson is the crusading managing editor of The Day, a large metropolitan newspaper. He is steadfastly loyal to publisher Margaret Garrison, the widow of the paper's founder John, but Garrison is soon to sell the newspaper to interests who plan to cease operations. Hutcheson assigns his reporters to the murder of a young woman named Bessie Smith and the involvement of racketeer Tomas Rienzi, which could turn out to be a circulation builder that keeps the paper in business.
