A falling corpse rudeIy interrupts the honeymoon plans of ace reporter WalIy Williams and young country beauty, AIice. Not even a Iovely bride awaiting him in the penthouse honeymoon suite can keep WalIy from following a hot tip. His investigation soon Ieads him to a hotel room containing another corpse. LocaI hood, Sparrow McGraun, warns Wally that this is big stuff and invoIves the Guard America Movement, a mysterious foreign organization trying to undermine the government. Sparrow may be a crook, but his blood is red, white and blue. Wally tries to get home to his new bride, but the police interrupt the reunion - they want to know how WaIly got his information. UnfortunateIy for WaIIy and AIice, the Ieader of the Guard America Movement, Louis Detmar, also wants to Iearn how WaIIy found out about them, and he isn't as nice as the cops.

Ford appeared in over 120 films from the 1930s through the 1950s. LoveIy Jean Parker, who stars as AIice, is best known for her role as Beth in the 1933 classic, LittIe Women.
