Killer at Large (1947)

Paul Kimberly (Robert Lowery), a newspaper reporter, quits his job in order to investigate crooked dealings in the local veterans' housing administration. The editor assigns reporter Anne Arnold (Anabel Shaw) to lure him back to the newspaper. Together, the two reporters expose the embezzling ring and discover that Anne's father, Vincent Arnold (Charles Evans), is the head of the ring. In true newspaper fashion, Anne writes the story herself.
