"Unpublished Story" is a 1942 film directed by Harold French. Writing credits are given to Anthony Havelock-Allan and Patrick Kirwan. It starred Richard Greene, Valerie Hobson, Basil Radford and Roland Culver.

Plot

Bob Randall (Greene), a war correspondent with a fictional London newspaper, the "Gazette", is evacuated with British troops from the beaches of Dunkirk. He writes a hard-hitting story of his experiences, but it is killed by the censor (Radford).

As London burns in the Blitz, and the newspaper struggles to stay in business, he writes several more eye-witness stories, and then learns of "People For Peace", a pacifist organisation. He suspects the members of being Nazi tools and investigates the group. Together with a fellow journalist, Carole Bennett (Hobson), he finds that his suspicions are correct and that it has already been penetrated by security officers.

But when one of the members changes his views and approches Bennett with a tell-all story, she is kidnapped by the leaders of the group. In a raid by police and security officers, she is freed, but Randall is wounded in a shoot-out.

They have their story, but the security officer in charge makes it clear that the incident must remain unpublished - it never happened.
