Summary:
Struggling to establish a system that delivers messages with reliability and speed, Julius Reuter becomes a success when he launches a European telegraph service that transmits news by wire. Competing with a British concern that's out to steal his clients, Reuter lays a line to a remote coastal town that gives him the lead on American news brought to England by boat.
