After crime boss Nate Girard is acquitted of murder, he throws a huge celebratory party and invites all the press photographers to cover it. Girard poses for a press shot with his lawyer Renfield, and when the flash bulbs stop flashing, Renfield drops dead to the ground. The police round up all the press for questioning, but mainly suspect mystery woman Meg Archer of the murder, as she fled the party shortly after the crime. She enlists the help of newspaper photographer Kent Murdock, who she met at the party, to clear her name. Girard's goons begin to chase Kent and Meg after they discover a photo plate that just might show the real killer committing the murder.
