Chuck Tatum is an abrasive, tough reporter looking for a chance to make a name with a big new scoop. Unfortunately he’s stuck in a little town where almost nothing happens. One day, while going to report rattlesnake hunting, a man called Leo Minosa gets trapped inside a mine. Tatum sees this as his big chance and tries to squeeze the new for all its worth, convincing the local sheriff and engineer to prolong the rescue labor at least for a week.
