Newspaper columnist Don Corwin (Dane Clark) and a cop, Bill Fellows (Howard Smith), begin looking into Bender's death, assuming incorrectly murder. Don falls for Georgia, even though Fellows warns him that she's been keeping company with a criminal.

Don and Georgia argue causing her to leave Saratoga for New York City. When Steve sees her in a newspaper photo dating Don, he goes to get her back by marrying her.

Joe ends up shooting Steve who returns fire. Meanwhile, Candy tips the police also and Georgia arrives in time to find him lying shot. Steve then dies in Georgia's arms.
