Synopsis of Broken Barriers

Broken Barriers was produced by Excellent Pictures, which did not necessarily describe the quality of the film. Gaston Glass stars as a tough newspaperman who tries to expose political corruption in an unspecified major American city. When a "machine" candidate is murdered, suspicion naturally falls upon a big-time ward heeler. Glass's efforts to prove the guilt of the suspect are stymied when he falls in love with the alleged murderer's daughter (Helene Costello). In a hardly salutary comment on American journalism, Glass's publisher destroys all evidence pointing to the suspect so that the romance between the hero and the heroine can progress unimpeded. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
