Two news segments, one on the death of gangster John Dillinger, the other on Columbia University football player Al Barabas.
Narrator announces John Dillinger is dead and was trapped in Chicago, Illinois, by FBI agents. Dillinger lays on an operating table. Crowds arrive and cheer in front of the Biograph Theatre on Lincoln Avenue, in Chicago's North Side, where he was shot. People hold up newspaper with the headline, "Dillinger Shot." Dillinger's effects lay on a small table, including his gun, hat, eyeglasses, and pocket picture of a woman. Dillinger lays in a morgue, tagged with his name and dated 1/22/34. Thousands crowd in front of the morgue to see his body.
Al Barabas, the Columbia University halfback who scored the only touchdown in the famous 7-0 upset of Stanford in the 1934 Rose Bowl, is welcomed home by a crowd in Jersey City, New Jersey. He is introduced by the commissioner of Jersey City who questions him on his play and Barabas responds with trite answers.
