His associate, Tiny, transmits Haines' reports via a wireless set in his car. Haines is romantically involved with a newspaper reporter, Mary Bradley, who he constantly scoops. Frustrated with continually getting beaten to the punch on the news, Mary decides to eavesdrop on Haines in order to turn the tables on him. When Haines leaves his jacket with the microphone in a room where a group of gangsters is planning their next heist, he overhears their plans to knock over an armored car. Being privy to the gang's plans, Haines and Tiny plan to both get the story and foil the robbery. Unbeknownst to them, Mary has also overheard the gang's plans, as well as Haines and Tiny's scheme. She makes her own plans to scoop Haines, and steals his microphone. As she sets her plans in motion, she comes in contact with a G-man, Potter, who gains her trust. However, he is actually in the pay of the gangsters and kidnaps Mary. Aware that their plans have been compromised, the gang changes their timetable and successfully capture the armored car. They take the armored car to the same cave in which Potter has stashed Mary. When the gang arrives with the armored car, Mary takes advantage of the distraction and uses Haines' stolen microphone to send out a distress signal. Haines, who is with the real FBI agents, hears the signal, and the agents are able to use it to pinpoint the location of the gang. As they race to the cave, Mary attempts to evade the anger of the gangsters, who have discovered her transmitter. Just in the nick of time the agents and Haines arrive to save Mary and capture the gangsters. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Behind the Headlines (1937 film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
