Jimmy Drury: Candid Camera Detective

In a thick, low‑lying fog that rolls off the lake, a young man named Jimmie Drude—son of a prominent newspaper editor—finds himself knocked to the ground by a mysterious flash and a shadowy figure on a bridge. Disoriented but alive, he clutches a strange object at his belt and immediately suspects the attack is linked to a sinister criminal known only as the Silent Terror. Determined to turn the tables, Jimmie summons the help of a nearby policeman and races to the Daily Press offices, where he hopes to enlist his father's old friend, the sharp‑witted detective Tom Howe.

At the bustling newsroom, Jimmie's urgency draws the attention of seasoned officers and a cadre of reporters, all buzzing with curiosity about the unexplained assault. As the pieces of the puzzle begin to surface, Jimmie prepares to team up with Howe, using his quick thinking and a hidden camera to capture clues that might finally expose the elusive menace lurking in the city’s foggy streets.
