After covering the inaugural convention of the Bund for his paper, Alex confronts a gang of Fanatical Nazis, intent on Anti-Sematic and racist attacks.

Eventually, he enlists his girlfriend and her grandfather-a retired police commissioner- to help investigate there terrorists. In the course of pursuing the story, they make a discovery that could have national security implications. With a little help from official authorities, they rush to foil the scheme.
