"THEY DON'T DARE KILL A REPORTER!" It's easy for an editor to say that, but he knows if he puts the finger on an underworld czar, he is a dead man!

A police reporter solves a murder case in Chicago, then moves on to St. Louis-but not voluntarily, since he has been kidnapped by the minions of the Windy City gang leader against whom he is scheduled to testify.
