Amiable and simple Olaf (Christian Rub) has been accused of murder but newspaper boy Jimmie (Jackie Moran) can't believe he is guilty. The niece of his boss, Mildred (Marcia Mae Jones) turns up in town and begins to help Jimmi with his quest for the truth.
However, all the adults in town including the newspaper owner (Jimmie's boss, Mildred's uncle) Albert (George Cleveland) think Olaf is guilty and isn't impressed by Jimmie's antics and ends up firing him. Of course that doesn't stop Jimmy!
So, this is a fine enough crime drama though the annoying teenager factor may drop it a point or two. It has all the usual B-movie crime tropes and is a very worthwhile hour or so of your time.
