Peter Campbell is very busy tonight. In an hour, you'll see him: Helping rescue a child from a cliff with KONE's helicopter. Getting shot at while covering a holdup. Giving moral support to a crippled cowboy friend. Campbell helps free an innocent murder defendant, even though he himself is jailed for refusing to reveal his news source in the case. His source is a scared woman, an ex-convict who on a confidential basis gives him information that could clear the murder defendant.

Campbell and his sidekick cameraman are trapped in the middle of a jailbreak. The reporter gets involved with an escapee from jail who seems like such a nice kid.
