DESCRIPTION:
Daniel H. Greely, a cub reporter with 'newshound instincts' lands a job at The Metropolitan Clarion, a bustling newspaper overseen by publisher Roger Bradley, whose motto is 'First - with the latest.' The city is in the grip of a crime wave instigated by 'The Gold Baron' and his gang, who have recently stolen $1 million in gold bullion - only the latest in a series of daring robberies. The police are powerless, and Commissioner Drake is at his wit's end. He's also feeling the heat from Bradley's editorials, which are highly critical of the police's inability to apprehend The Gold Baron.
Greely and society columnist Daisy Tellem attend the Van Allen gala at the nearby Embassy Club, which is sure to be a big story. It gets even bigger when The Gold Baron's gang shows up to rob the guests. Greely is able to elude detection - and phones the Chronicle while the robbery is in progress, only to discover that it's already been covered. Greely begins to suspect that someone, perhaps The Gold Baron himself, is right in their midst. When someone takes a shot at him, he knows he's on the right track. This could be the story of his life... if he can stay alive.
Eddie Nugent became a popular leading man in the early days of the sound era, appearing in both shorts and feature films. He co-starred in the classic 1933 musical 42nd Street, which earned a Best Picture Oscar nomination, as well as Meet the Mayor (1932), Behind Stone Walls (1932), Kentucky Blue Streak (1935), Just My Luck (1935) Lost in the Statrosphere (1935), A Man Betrayed (1936), Prison Shadows (1936) and Island Captives (1937). Island Captives marked the actor's final film, although he lived until age 90 and died in 1995.
