Story: With his newspaper about to be sold, crusading editor Ed Hutcheson tries to complete an exposé on gangster Rienzi.

Ed Hutcheson, tough editor of the New York Day, finds that the late owners 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 womans murder...in the 3 issues before the end of The Day.

Ed Hutcheson is the Managing Editor of The Day, one of the most respected newspapers not only in New York City but in the US. Like Ed, the newspapers staff is dedicated to it, but that dedication has taken its toll on ones personal life as seen by Eds own now ex-wife, Nora Hutcheson, she who used to work for the paper herself, divorcing him two years ago in realizing she was his second priority, something that she would not have had any other way in respecting him for it and for what the newspaper means to the public. Conversely, Ed, who realizes what drove her way, still turns to her for support in still loving her, those feelings despite she on the cusp of marriage to another man. The newspaper was founded by John Garrison, who deeded his interest to his wife Margaret, and their two daughters, Alice and Katherine, upon his death eleven years ago. Spurred by their respective husbands in viewing the newspaper solely as a financial asset, Alice and Katherine, now with controlling interest, have convinced their mother to sell it, the buyer Lawrence White who publishes the rival Standard newspaper, he who will probably roll whatever he wants of The Day into The Standard and shut The Day down. While The Standard has three times the circulation of The Day in focusing on news as entertainment, it does not have the respect of The Day by people who read newspapers for news. While Ed encourages the staff to do what they have to do for their own personal situations, he is committed to saving at least what the newspaper means. How he believes he can achieve such is to pursue the story of Tomas Rienzi, a so called legitimate businessman, that front masking that he is a gangster using his money for graft and other crimes of moral suasion, his cement company which he probably uses to make boots for those who cross him. With other newspapers not even remotely touching the more public aspects of Rienzis story, Ed doing so places the newspapers staff working on it, including himself, at risk.
