The story

Joseph W. Randall is the managing editor of the New York Evening Gazette tabloid newspaper, who has been trying to legitimize the paper by reducing sensationalism and improving the reporting, but circulation has dropped dramatically. When publisher Bernard Hinchecliffe plans to boost sales by running a retrospective series on a 20-year-old murder, hoping to thereby revive the scandal, Randall reluctantly agrees.
