A fast paced action drama featuring Pat O’Brian as a hard drinking¸ woman chasing reporter who is on a first name basis with everyone from the District Attorney to mob chiefs and down to hit men on the street. The story opens with a corporate bigwig contracting with the local mob chief (Louis Calhern) to have the District Attorney killed. The newly appointed District Attorney¸ who happens to be engaged to one of the corporate bigwigs’ daughter¸ and¸ is¸ of course a friend of Pat O’Brian. From here it is a race to expose the wicked corporation¸ in a sort of 1933 Enron scandal¸ and to keep the new District Attorney alive.
