Ed Hutcheson, tough editor of the New York Day, finds that the late owner's heirs are selling the crusading paper to a strictly commercial rival. At first he sees impending unemployment as an opportunity to win back his estranged wife Nora. But when a reporter, pursuing a lead on racketeer Rienzi, is badly beaten, Hutcheson is stung into a full-fledged crusade against the gangster, hoping Rienzi can be tied to a woman's murder...in the 3 issues before the end of The Day.
