In this docunoir, Chicago newspaper editor Lee J. Cobb orders investicative reporter Jimmy Stewart to answer an ad offering $5000 to anyone who can prove a convicted murderer innocent. Stewart reluctantly gets involved but as he investigates he becomes more and more convinced that the 11 year old conviction of Richard Conte was a frame up. Stewart eventually discovers key evidence and presents it to the Illinois Pardon Board. This is a very well made film and is along the lines of a police procedural.
