A young newspaper man, whose brother is on the police force,
becomes strangely involved in the mysterious killing of an
Italian bootblack. Suspicion points to a well-known politician
but he proves that it was impossible for him to have done the
deed. Then the reporter, who for a time turns detective, gets a
clue revolving about a startling, ancient method of combat. He
follows this up, watches a masked duelist and, with the help of a
girl, catches the murderer who justifies his deed on the plea of
Slow Vengeance. You will be interested in reading how the
reporter got out of a tight corner.
