An editor tries everything to keep his star reporter from moving to another city. It's male verse female in this somewhat funny story of two newswriters who also happen to be in love. George Brent play the role of a man who believes women have no place in reporting. Betty Davis plays his opposite who won't marry Brent until she proves women make worthy reporters too. They both go after the same murder story but only one finds out who the real killer is.
Brent prints an incorrect story on who the killer is and is fired.
Davis corrects the story, gets him rehired, and Brent agrees women do have a place in reporting. This film is jammed packed with espionage, murder, and propaganda. Not everything is what it seems. In one scene McCrea is chasing a murderer through the country side when suddenly he disappears. McCrea is left looking at nothing but flat land and windmills.
