 The first entry of "The Roving Reporters" finds bank clerk Johnny Martin (Robert Kellard) arrested for the murder of Peggy Norton (Ruth Hussey). With the aid of a pretty young bill collector, Margie Ross (Gloria Stuart), Barney Callahan (Michael Whalen) and Snapper Dooln (Chick Chandler), reporter and photographer for "The Clarion" newspaper, set out to show that gangster Dutch Moran (Douglas Fowley) may have been involved.
