Frank Wiecek was arrested a little too quickly following the murder of a policeman in a Chicago speakeasy in 1932. He is immediately sentenced to 99 years in prison along with another man who insists he had no part in the murder either. But 11 years later, his mother puts an ad in the newspaper for information on who really killed the police officer with a reward of $5,000 without Wiecek ever knowing. Tillie, his wife, has found someone new and his own son doesn't even know who he is. Soon a reporter from the Chicago Times (Jimmy Stewart) comes around asking questions and convinces Wiecek to take a lie detector test administered by the Polygraph's inventor
