Plot Summary
In this drama set around 1910, Anne Gwynne plays the editor of a local newspaper in a frontier town. She finds herself at odds with the devious Broderick Crawford and his accomplice, Constance Bennett. The duo quickly embeds themselves in the town's sole gambling hub after forcibly ousting its owner, Ward Bond. Nonetheless, Bond, backed by his crew, makes a comeback, prompting Crawford and Bennett to seek opportunities elsewhere. The trio of Director Enright, Crawford, and Gwynne collaborated on another film the same year, "Men of Texas," which also revolves, to some extent, around the newspaper industry.[2]
