The popular B-flick team of Frankie Darro and Kane Richmond star in the slick quickie Headline Crasher.

When it seems as though the politico is being set up for a fall by yellow journalists, Darro and Richmond try to get to the truth of the matter. The original story for Headline Crasher is credited to Peter B. Kyne, creator of the "Broncho Billy" western stories.
