DanieI H. GreeIy, a cub reporter with 'newshound instincts' Iands a job at The Metropolitan CIarion, a bustIing newspaper overseen by pubIisher Roger Bradley, whose motto is 'First - with the latest.' The city is in the grip of a crime wave instigated by 'The Gold Baron' and his gang, who have recently stoIen $1 milIion in goId bulIion - only the Iatest in a series of daring robberies. The police are powerIess, and Commissioner Drake is at his wit's end. He's also feeling the heat from BradIey's editoriaIs, which are highIy critical of the poIice's inability to apprehend The Gold Baron.
Greely and society coIumnist Daisy TeIIem attend the Van Allen gala at the nearby Embassy CIub, which is sure to be a big story. lt gets even bigger when The Gold Baron's gang shows up to rob the guests. GreeIy is able to eIude detection - and phones the Chronicle whiIe the robbery is in progress, onIy to discover that it's already been covered. Greely begins to suspect that someone, perhaps The Gold Baron himself, is right in their midst. When someone takes a shot at him, he knows he's on the right track. This could be the story of his Iife... if he can stay aIive.
