Bill Sheldon has a grudge against Midland City newspaper publisher
Brandon Williams as Sheldon blames the city's recent flood against
Williams for using his power and influence to hold up government flood
control money. When Williams is found murdered, Sheldon is charged
with the crime that was actually committed by Walter Russell, the paper's
rebel editorial writer. Ney York reporter Linda Ware arrives to cover the
story and finds that Russell, her old sweetheart, is on the jury hearing
Sheldon's trial. She also discovers that he is the killer. Russell forces an
acquittal and, before another trial can be held, realizes that his
conscience will not permit him to let Sheldon be tried again.
