The Murder Man

Steve Grey (Spencer Tracy) is an ace newspaper reporter with a keen eye for details on the homicide beat. So, when a local rogue is shot and killed, the police pay special attention to Grey's articles, in which he reveals an extraordinary murder plot, fingering the man's business partner, Henry Mander (Harvey Stephens). But once Mander is convicted and on his way to the electric chair, Grey grows increasingly edgy. Slowly, gossip columnist Mary Shannon (Virginia Bruce) realizes why.
