Der Mann für Mord (1935)
Für Stories über Mord und Todschlag ist Steve Grey (Spencer Tracy) genau der richtige Mann. Nach dem Mord an einem korrupten Geschäftsmann verbreitet er via Zeitung Verdächtigungen, der Geschäftspartner Henry Mander (Harvey Stephens) hätte den Mord begehen können. Während Steve gleichzeitig noch versucht, seinen Vater aufzubauen, dessen Geschäft kürzlich pleiteging, wird Mander tatsächlich vor Gericht gestellt und zum Tode verurteilt. Doch dann holt Kollege Shorty (James Stewart) den inzwischen ausgestiegenen Steve für ein letztes Interview mit dem Delinquenten zurück...
