A determined newspaper editor, hungry for a front-page story, investigates a string of sophisticated high-society robberies plaguing the city. His investigation points to a mysterious and elusive figure the press dubs "The Midnight Burglar." Using his resources, he sets a trap to catch the thief in the act. The plan draws in an ambitious reporter and a cynical photographer, leading them on a nocturnal adventure through the glittering rooftops and dark alleys of the sleeping metropolis.
