From the archive of noted Hollywood still photographer Ray Jones. Born in Wisconsin on January 1, 1901, Jones worked for Paramount Pictures in the early 1930s, and went on to be the head of the still photography department at Universal Pictures in 1935, where he worked well into the 1950s.

Blake, a police officer, is accused of shooting him but knows he didn't do it, and sets out to prove it, both to clear his name and because of his feelings for Eilers.
