An episodic tale that casts Douglas as a newspaper editor trying to keep the presses from shutting down on his failing daily. He gets the scoop on a kidnaping case and, after a series of vignettes, eventually winds up falling into the gang's clutches. He saves his skin by crushing the
crooks and in the process keeps the ink flowing. Fenton's first feature after directing scores of CRIME DOES NOT PAY shorts.
