The story unfolds with an investigation into the death of a print shop owner. Though the district attorney is convinced it was a suicide, the assistant D.A., Howard Malloy (Franchot Tone), suspects murder. Furthermore, he believes the man's death is connected to the Crusaders, a shadowy political organization whose members are mysteriously dropping like flies. His suspicions are confirmed when a reporter who'd written a series of damaging articles about the group is found murdered. Meanwhile, realizing how close Malloy is getting to the truth, the Crusaders send beautiful Barbara Whitfield (Jean Wallace) to compromise the meddling attorney. Barbara soon has a change of heart but is killed before she can confess. After this third murder, Malloy is even more determined to break the case and expose the Crusaders.
