Up in Central Park

In New York City in the 1870s, as the city prepares for the upcoming election, corrupt political boss William M. Tweed (Vincent Price) and his Tammany Hall political machine are working hard to re-elect their candidates, including Mayor Oakley (Hobart Cavanaugh), in order to continue exploiting the coffers of the city and state. The one voice opposing Boss Tweed's organization is John Matthews (Dick Haymes), a young naïve reporter for ''The New York Times''.
