Reporter Jeff Shannon stops trying to expose political corruption after his son and wife are threatened. On election day, corrupt politicians broadcast the 1933 apocalyptic science-fiction film Deluge on the news, hoping to trick voters into believing that New York City has been hit by a tidal wave to discourage them from voting.
Republic Pictures acquired the rights to the 1933 disaster film Deluge, which begins with a special-effects sequence of Manhattan being destroyed by a tsunami.
