Plot

A newspaper editor schemes to keep his best reporter from leaving to marry, as an escaped convict hides in the press room.

Sinekatalog’s take

Lewis Milestone's comedy, with Adolphe Menjou and Pat O'Brien, is fast and cynical, a pioneering newsroom farce.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
