“The man from "The Mob" is making another killing!”

At the New York Express, a tabloid that sells itself on lurid headlines, editor Mark Chapman (Broderick Crawford) runs the newsroom like a machine. When a murder lands on the front page, he sends the young reporter Steve McCleary (John Derek) after it, though the dead woman's killer is Chapman himself. Phil Karlson adapts Samuel Fuller's novel, set in a world where a story is worth printing for the sales it brings.
