Anewspaper reporter, Bruce Corey, returns fromWorld War I toNew York City. After reporting to his job at his old newspaper, Corey finds that his oldeditor doesn't like his new ideas. Corey and his war correspondent friends start their own down-market newspaper which will feature "the news before it happens." Corey gambles with a mob boss and wins the money to start up his paper, theNew York Mercury, an instant success.
However, because of stories that may implicate the newspaper's silent partner in a number of crimes, Corey finds himself and his staff threatened and even the targets of gunfire. Corey finally kills the mob boss and flees the country on a plane that is attempting a trans-Atlantic flight. The plane crashes and he is killed. Rather than embroil the paper in the murder investigation, Corey embarks on what he knows is an extremely dangerous flight. The plane does crash mid-ocean at the end he is reported to have swum away from a rescue craft.
