Summaries

Newspaper editor (Foster) will do almost anything to increase circulation. He campaigns to free a condemned man while accusing a wealthy ex-criminal of a string of murders.

Steve Drum, a crusading newspaper editor, short on scruples when it comes to increasing his newspaper's circulation but long on honesty when justice is at stake, combines these traits to free an innocent man, and to find and convict the real culprit. Staff reporter Maxine Thomas trails along, supplying both help and complications.—Les Adams <[email protected]>
