The Murder Man (1935)
Steve Gray, verslaggever van de Daily Star, heeft de gewoonte om elke krant in de stad te lezen. Wanneer Henry Mander wordt onderzocht voor de moord op zijn louche zakenpartner, is Gray de politie een stap voor, omdat hij zijn verhaal vaak dicteert voordat het gebeurt. Hij leidt de politie naar een "open en gesloten" zaak, die ertoe leidt dat Mander wordt berecht, veroordeeld en ter dood wordt veroordeeld. Columniste Mary Shannon is verliefd op Steve, maar ze ziet hem worstelen met zijn laatste verhaal voor Manders executie. Wanneer ze het verhaal begint uit te typen vanuit zijn opgenomen dictaat, begrijpt ze waarom.
