Chicago, 1933: un giovane viene condannato per l’omicidio di un poliziotto. Undici anni dopo, la madre mette un annuncio su un quotidiano promettendo una taglia di 5.000 dollari a chi fornirà informazioni utili per rintracciare i veri assassini. La particolarità dell’annuncio fa sì che il direttore del Chicago Times, Brian Kelly assegni al reporter P.J. McNeal l’incarico di analizzare nuovamente il caso... Grande successo all’epoca e grande interpretazione di James Stewart. Finale entusiasmante.
