The story

Defeated politician Blake Washburn becomes the editor of a small-town newspaper in an effort to promote his reelection. His campaign is intended as a continuing exposé of the evils of large industry, and his strategy is to publish daily screeds against enormous corporate profits that enrich shareholders. On a school outing to an abandoned mine, Washburn's younger sister is trapped in the collapse of a mine tunnel caused by a disgruntled employee's negligence, and the town's businesses come to her rescue.
