The Glass Key plot
"The Tougher They Are—The Harder They Fall"
During a re-election campaign, corrupt politician Paul Madvig decides to break with his past. That is why he no longer supports the criminal Nick Varna, but seeks cooperation with his respected political opponent Ralph Henry. Henry's son Taylor Henry is a gambler who is in love with Opal Madvig, Paul's young sister. Paul is against their romance. Ed Beaumont, Paul's loyal assistant, finds Taylor Henry's body in the street. Nick Varna then takes advantage of newspaper publisher Clyde Matthews's dire financial situation by forcing him to suspect the murder of Taylor Henry through an article in his newspaper 'The Observer'.
