In 1932, Frank Wiecek is convicted of the murder of a Chicago policeman in a mob-connected speakeasy. Eleven years later, his mother, Tillie, takes out a newspaper classified ad asking for information about the crime. Hard-bitten city editor Brian Kelly assigns skeptical reporter P.J. McNeal to investigate. The first studio feature ever shot on location in Chicago, the film is based on a true story.
