Starving writer Emile Zola (Paul Muni) shares a garrett with the equally poor Paul Cezanne (Vladimir Sokoloff) until his fiancée Alexandrine (Gloria Holden) finds him a job in a bookstore. The censors think his work is scandalous, which loses the budding writer his position, but he soon writes Nana after interviewing a real woman of the streets (Erin O'Brien-Moore) and telling her story honestly. More controversial books exposing public scandals make Zola rich and content to the point that Cezanne decides it's time they parted company. Just as Emile is about to be inducted into special state honors, he risks his career and reputation on a reckless defense of Captain Alfred Dreyfus (Joseph Schildkraut), a Jewish army officer made the scapegoat for a breach in security by unscrupulous bigshots in the general staff. Rotting on Devil's Island, Dreyfus' only champion is his faithful wife Lucie (Gale Sondergaard).
