Despite the efforts of his editor Bob Leeds, investigative reporter Ken Marshall is framed for manslaughter. He escapes from prison and, with the help of kindly doctor Phillip Black, starts a new life as a small town newspaperman with his wife Ruth and baby girl Penny. A few years later, Ken's prison cellmate Clubby Blake is released, blackmails Ken and then shoots him. The police arrive and shoot Blake. Ken recovers and is cleared when the corruptors who framed him confess.
