Lamont Cranston (Rod La Rocque), amateur criminologist and detective, with a daily radio program, sponsored by the Daily Classic newspaper, has developed a friendly feud that sometimes passes the friendly stage with Police Commissioner Weston (Thomas E. Jackson). He complains to his managing editor, Edward Heath (Oscar O'Shea), over the problems that have developed in his department since Phoebe Lane (Astrid Allwyn) has been hired as his assistant. He is advised to forget it since she is the publisher's niece. During his broadcast about Honest John (William Pawley), a famous safe cracker who has served his time, Phoebe gives him a note that the Metropolitan Theatre is to be robbed at eight o'clock and she is so insistent that he adds it as his closing note. Off the air, he learns she got the information from a man she met in a café who had an honest face. Cranston goes to the theatre where Weston and his men have gathered and, of course, nothing happens but, across town, a safe is blown at the home of international banker Gerald Morton (John St. Polis) and the banker is killed. Cranston arrives there ahead of the police and discovers enough evidence to show him that it wasn't just a simple robbery with the banker accidentally killed. The irate Weston has him jailed as a material witness, but Phoebe comes through with a habeas corpus in time for him to make his broadcast. Honest John crashes into the studio with a gun and demands that Cranston exonerates him over the air from the police suspicion that he committed the robbery. Weston rushes to the studio but Honest John has escaped. Cranston takes Phoebe on a tour of night clubs hoping she will spot the man who gave her the robbery message. She does and Cranston poses as a new arrival from Europe and learns that the man is Flotow (Wilhelm von Brincken) and his companion is Starkov (Tenen Holtz'). They make a date for lunch the next day.

When movie actor Brad Cameron is at Federated Studios in Hollywood for wardrobe fittings, he learns that Scandal magazine has published a false cover story about him being "caught in the act" with a young actress, June Trapping. Brad complains to his agent, Jerry Dexter, who believes that the story may have been planted by June's agent, Herman Todd. Despite Brad's declaration of innocence, his wife Marge remains unconvinced. When Brad goes to explain to Champ Winter, his best friend and June's boyfriend, Champ does not believe him and slugs him. To protect his client, Jerry goes to see June and Todd, and demands that June retract her story or he will use information he has to smear her. Meanwhile, at Scandal magazine, publisher Leland Miller assigns Jess Blancher, the writer who fabricated the story about Brad, to cover a new "exposé." At Federated, studio boss Sidney Wood tells Jerry and Brad that due to adverse public reaction, he is forced to postpone Brad's next picture and will not be renewing his contract. Unsettled by the disastrous turn of events, Marge leaves Brad, causing him great anguish. In a bar, a newspaper columnist takes Brad to meet Alice Yoland, one of his former co-stars, who is now an alcoholic due to her career being ruined by bad publicity. Later, Brad returns to the bar and learns from singer Billie Wayne, who is having an affair with Todd in hopes of advancing her career, that Alice has committed suicide. Alice's suicide prompts Brad and Jerry decide to sue the magazine and studio boss Wood agrees to support them. Brad then phones Blancher, posing as an informant in order to entrap him, and they agree to meet at the magazine's office. However, when Blancher is murdered, Brad is arrested and charged with the crime. Although Brad swears to his lawyer, Marty Ellis, that he is innocent and can not remember anything about shooting Blancher, he admits to carrying a gun, which is now missing. Later Marge tells Marty that Brad is not a murderer and gives him money for use in Brad's defense. Marty decides to try the case in front of a judge, instead of a jury. At the trial, Miller testifies about finding Blancher's body and admits that the writer frequently received death threats. Todd then testifies that Brad visited him the night of the murder and, after assaulting him, left in a violent rage to go to the Scandal office. Brad, now desperate, tells Marty that Billie might know something that could exonerate him. Marge is in the courtroom when Brad gives his testimony. He recalls entering the Scandal offices on the night of the murder. After Brad demands that the magazine print a retraction of the story, Blancher tries to throw him out. They struggle and after Blancher falls and hits his head on a filing cabinet, Brad leaves. In the present, Brad swears he did not shoot Blancher and cannot account for the missing gun. In his summation, Marty suggests that there are many victims of the magazine who could have committed the crime and suggests that Todd had a motive because Blancher could have exposed him as the source for his story on Brad. Marty then calls Billie to the stand and she testifies that earlier that day she was at Todd's apartment when two police officers discovered Brad's gun there. Todd is in the courtroom and leaps to his feet, claiming a frame-up. Marty then reveals that Todd's fingerprints have been found on the gun and asks for the charge against Brad to be dropped. The judge adjourns court to give him time to make a decision and releases Brad into Marty's custody. Later, Todd confesses and Brad is exonerated. At Federated, Marty explains that Todd was the only person who knew Brad was going to the magazine's office and concluded that after Brad left, Todd shot Blancher. Wood tells Brad that new contracts are being prepared for him and Billie and that he will be starting a new picture in two weeks. Brad then goes to his car where Madge is waiting and they drive off together.
