Edward G. Robinson stars as Joseph Randall, the ruthless
newspaper-editor who will go to any length to get a headline for the Five Star
Final. Facing declining circulation, he decides to dig up a 20-year-old
killing. He sends reporter Vernon Isopod (Boris Karloff) undercover to
get a photograph of Nancy Townsend as she prepares for her daughter's wedding.
Now a pillar of society, Townsend shot her lover decades ago. But there are
tragic consequences when Randall publishes the photo of Townsend with the story
of the shooting. (USA, 1931, 89 mins, English | Dir. Mervyn LeRoy)
