Primera plana (1974)
Chicago 1929. Ewan Williams, convicto del asesinato de un policía, espera en la cárcel el momento de su ejecución. Mientras tanto, en la sala de prensa del Tribunal Supremo, un grupo de periodistas espera el indulto o la confirmación de la sentencia. Hiddy Johnson, el cronista de sucesos del Chicago Examiner, que tendría que cubrir la información, está a punto de contraer matrimonio y abandonar su trabajo; pero Walter Burns, el maquiavélico director del periódico, empeñado en retenerlo, tratará de impedir su boda por todos los medios.
