Auf dem Güterbahnhof wird der Kolumnist Frank Scanlon erschossen. Gary gerät in Verdacht der Täter zu sein und wird verhaftet. Während der Verhandlung gelingt ihm die Flucht. Während die ganze Stadt Jagd auf ihn macht, muss er nun den wahren Mörder finden.

When Frank Scanlon, a Chicago Sun Times columnist famous for his exposes, meets Gary during one of his daily saves, Gary piques the interest of the reporter, who believes that the rescues are more than coincidental. Intent on investigating Gary further, Scanlon demands that Sun Times cameraman Miguel Diaz hand over the confidential file he's been collecting on Gary. Meanwhile, when Gary reads in the paper that Scanlon is about to be murdered, he rushes to save him but the paper lists the wrong time of death - leading Gary to be found at the scene by police and subsequently arrested.
