It's post-Prohibition. Gangster Tim Gleason has moved into the protection racket. He harasses small merchants with help from corrupt officials and a few useful murders. He has the gumption to complain to police Inspector Matson while veteran reporter Matt Casey is in his office. Matson is waiting for a whistleblower. Small town reporter Ruth Nolan is desperate to get a big city newspaper job, but the boss Bill Blaine won't hire another woman after the last one. She decides to investigate on her own.
I don't know anything about Casey, Crime Photographer. I've never heard of this long-running franchise character. I like the sassy girl newbie and the buddy-buddy veteran combination. This seems to be dismissed by most. I can see this duo becoming a fun investigative team although I don't want them coupling. I can do without Bill Blaine getting too involved. It's not high praise, but this is not the worst.
