Synopsis
En 1932 à Chicago, un policier est tué lors du cambriolage d'une épicerie. Frank Wiecek et Tomek Zaleska sont arrêtés et la justice prononce à leur encontre une peine à perpétuité. Onze ans plus tard, la mère de Frank, convaincue de l'innocence de son fils, lequel n'a jamais cessé de la clamer, passe une annonce dans le Chicago Times, demandant que des éléments nouveaux soient communiqués et offrant 5.000 dollars de récompense. Le rédacteur en chef du journal demande au reporter P.J. McNeal de mener sa propre enquête sur cette affaire…
