Editor Henry's wife Martha is pregnant and the birth date is approaching. If he can be transferred from the New York Sun to the Outpost, he will get more salary. At the meeting held in the office, Hackett asked the attendees to delve into the murder of two white businessmen, two innocent black youths have been arrested as suspects. After Hackett went to the Outpost for an interview, Hackett published the news of the arrest of the black youth on the front page of the newspaper. When the editor of the Sentinel learned about Hackett's strategy, he angrily withdrew his recruitment. Martha checked her acquaintances in the city's business district and saw the name of a mafia on a list of bankrupt bank investors. When Hackett learned the information, he confirmed from a policeman that the arrest of the two black youths was purely a perfunctory attempt by the police to put on a show. Hackett rushed back to the newspaper and published the big-print news that two black youths were innocent. After some twists and turns, the New York Sun was snapped up for the first time the next day.
