John Campbell, in love with Mary Bradford, is arrested and convicted of the murder of the town philanthropist. Glory Holden, Mary's mother and the editor of the small-town local newspaper, senses an injustice and carries on a relentless crusade in her newspaper to bring about Campbell's exoneration and find the guilty person. She discovers that shortly before his death, the murdered man placed in his will a $10,000 bequest to a charitable institution. With this as a clue, the determined editor exposes the true killer by playing upon the jealousy of a woman in love with an unscrupulous lawyer. But first she must single-handedly hold off an enraged lynch mob which has pursued Campbell to her home after he makes a jail break.
