Synopsis

Don Davis becomes a newspaper reporter when his wealthy father disowns him. His first assignment is to interview his father. Later, while he is working the night shift, a prankster colleague sends him to a cafe to cover a "murder." While he is there a murder does occur in a telephone booth, and Don holds the killer at bay until the police arrive. In the cafe he meets chorus girl Chrystal Malone, falls in love with her, and follows her to China when her troupe goes to entertain American servicemen there. When she is falsely accused of assassinating the governor, and is sentenced to be beheaded, Don signals an American rescue party to save her.
