Plot
Meant to be a diatribe against yellow journalism and current social ills this weakly limned drama by Josef von Baky features a reporter who works for one of the tabloid papers The reporter digs up dirt on the past life of a local hotel owner and wanting to take full advantage of the muck he strings out his revelations in a series of perjorative damning articles on the man The result of this campaign turns out to be much worse than simply ruining the hotel owners reputation
