Within the framework of a conventional newspaper yarn, One Mile From
Heaven raises several controversial issues. Scoop-happy reporter Lucy
"Tex" Warren (Claire Trevor) senses a big story in the plight of Flora
Jackson (Fredi Washington), a young black woman who claims to be the
mother of a white baby. In the course of her investigation, Luch discovers
that the child actually belongs to Barbara Harrison (Sally Blane), now
remarried to a wealthy young man and anxious to bury her past. A gang of
extortionists pounce upon this information to victimize Barbara and Flora,
but Lucy uses her newspaper connections to help both women. In the
end, it is decided that the public's "right to know" can best be ignored in
this case.
